The telecommunications industry, like many others, operates taking care of the various market forces. The robustness of the simulations is what enables us to predict the demand based on the time period.
WhatsApp experiences partial damage, when there is an additional need for a coronavirus
Speaking of mobile phones, we can easily understand that networks built by mobile operators have more use during the day than during the night. But even in the most used bands there are some differences.
The problem comes when usage is increasing dramatically and networks have to pull it off quickly. And this is what happens.
Mobile operators are asking for help: networks are retaliating for their use
As a result of the forced isolation that the Spanish government cut across the country, millions of citizens have been forced to evacuate their homes. This approach is definitely needed, but it does a significant increase in network data transmission made by staff.
That is why the world's top performers love it Vodafone, Movistar, MasMovil, Euskaltel or Orange They started asking their users to use networks in a logical way, trying to prioritize the most important tasks. As a result they have launched a series of compliments for their customers:
- Only download the files we need. If they are large files, it is best after lunch or at night.
- Do not send heavy files as videos.
- Use collaboration tools such as Telegram or Slack.
- Don't send big emails.
- If possible, use a landline instead of a mobile phone.
- Organize the road ahead for longer work, conferences, school programs and access to information.

We might be tempted to think that this is possible because our infrastructure is not designed for conditions like this, but the fact is that no infrastructure is designed to support any kind of load.
Spain is one of the best fiber optic networks with 4G in the world, with entry and speed at the height of the most developed countries.
Alternatively, the increasing use of streaming video services such as Netflix or video calls is testing the best networks. So whenever possible, we prioritize more appropriate use to avoid problems and to stay small.
