According to data from Speedtest, this is especially visible in the past week, amid an unprecedented lockdown in many countries due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In the U.S., mean fixed broadband download speed decreased from roughly 140 to 133Mbps in the week of March 16, compared to the week of March 9. Over that same period, mobile broadband download speed went from about 75 to 72Mbps.

Numerous European countries experienced a similar slowdown, too. For example, mean fixed broadband download speed went from about 103 to 93Mbps in Germany, and from 130 to 126Mbps in Italy.

The European Commissioner for internal market and services Thierry Breton recently warned that, as people increasingly move to working from home, streaming services are causing additional strain on broadband networks.
