It would be interesting to see some real world metrics on usage. My ancedotal evidence is that everyone is getting their typical speeds and latency. Which leads me to the conclusion the average worker wastes as much time on the internet whether they are working or not.

Behold, the power of the interwebs!

Twitch is suffering badly right now, there is a lot more trafik then usual. Streams stop working, stutter, chat or video feed not working.
