While AT&T’s core network traffic is still above its baseline levels, the increases actually dropped a bit last week. AT&T’s core network traffic, which includes business, home broadband and wireless usage, went from a 26% increase—compared to a similar day at the end of February— on Thursday to an 18% increase on Saturday.
The drop in core network traffic could have been due to work from home employees taking the day off on Saturday. Saturday’s core network traffic increase was slightly below AT&T’s pre-coronavirus baseline and March’s number.
