During the lockdown, which started on 23 March 2020, there was a 40% increase in daytime use of the internet, driven by schools shutting and adults moving to home-working. And whereas pre-pandemic the first major increase in internet traffic would usually occur at 3.30pm when children returned from school, the first major increase in usage now starts from 10am.
