My wife, son and I were all working from home today.
At one point it sounded like a call center.
UK schools are set to close by Friday and the end of school year exams (May / June) cancelled. So the internet backbone is about to be hammered as all those school kids stream movies, games, and Youtube crap instead of reading text books and doing course work.
It's going to be an interesting few months for all of us.
Going to move my son out of college tomorrow. He has been home the last week, but got the final word that the semester is done. All online. Our cul-de-sac will now have 7 college students online, 9 elementary/middle school students and 18 adults working from home. Will definitely be a test of the internet pipe to our neighborhood. And that is just in one small street.

You neighborhood sounds very much like the one I grew up in.
