Since the declaration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic (March 11, 2020), the average daily broadband usage in the United States has gone up compared to earlier in the year. In the week from March 11 to March 18, 2020, the average daily broadband data usage per user in the United States was 6.3 GB during the office hours, an increase of 41.4 percent compared to January. The increase is most likely due to more people working from home and overall restrictions for people to stay at home.
