With many people working and schooling remotely, has there been any impact on the broadband system?

Broadband activity increased significantly as people began working and schooling from home. Broadband usage increased by about 20% over the course of a few days.
The overall bandwidth usage on the service provider connections, where VCA gets its internet connectivity, is only 70% of the total capacity. We are watching these connections closely and should it be needed additional bandwidth is available within a few days.
The rapid increase in usage prompted emergency maintenance windows on March 20th and March 27th to add hardware for the purpose of increasing the core network’s ability to process traffic requests, work that was being scheduled to alleviate the high latency issues on the network that have been experienced over the past few months.
