Demand and Supply Dilemma!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Imagine a world where you had to live with no internet at all. No YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix or even YTS; sounds scary, doesn\u2019t it? Well, fortunately the situations aren\u2019t all that bad but that is a possibility that you must be aware of. With Coronavirus out in the open, everybody has decided to counter it by staying indoors. That\u2019s fine and all but staying indoors means people using the internet all the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

People using the internet all the time has caused the internet speeds to collapse instantly. Most of us are complaining that internet speeds on our home environment have gone down drastically in the past few days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, what? Everybody\u2019s paid their amount and everybody has the right to use it as much as they want. And it\u2019s all the ISP’s fault! Well that\u2019s a plausible argument and I agree to most of it but unfortunately going down that road won\u2019t exactly be that helpful. Instead, let\u2019s try to understand the situation and then look at a possible solution.<\/p>\n

The ISP Crisis: Demand and Supply Dilemma!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With almost everybody hogging into the internet bandwidth at the same time continuously; ISP\u2019s are in a state of crisis right now. How exactly? Well, it’s simple really, the demand and supply chain are choking almost every ISP right now.<\/p>\n

How it works is, when ISP\u2019s allocate a certain bandwidth for your home, it is divided into groups and not all of it is used at the same time. Now, when everyone\u2019s home and hogging the internet all the time, its difficult for ISP\u2019s to constantly supply the same bandwidth to each device. This has caused internet to slow down<\/a> in most homes.<\/p>\n

And since everybody\u2019s been advised to remain indoors, there aren\u2019t employees at the ISP to handle this type of situation. To address this situation, WorldLink and Vianet have each responded with their Facebook posts urging people to consume as less bandwidth as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n
