Description

Over the past month, ThousandEyes has been flooded with questions about how the Internet is holding up given the extra strain it’s been under with the sudden influx of remote workers, remote schoolers, and overall increased use due to COVID-19 related self-isolating and shelter in place orders. We’ve put out blogs and have conducted executive, media and analyst briefings. Network World and the IDG family of publications have even started publishing our data on a weekly basis to keep its readers up to date, as things are changing so frequently.Because of the continued interest in how the Internet is handling the current and, potentially, increasing traffic loads, we decided that now is the right time to kick off a show to answer this question each week. How is the Internet faring? What were some of the most interesting events we observed during the week? We're pleased to share the inaugural episode of The Internet Report.Listen along and don’t forget to subscribe to our blog and our YouTube Channel to be the first to get these episodes moving forward.
