Hi, I have a question about the recent outages we have had this week, in fact in United Kingdom some people have had between 4 and 7 service outages my question is this.

What is the likelihood of this continuing if business is closed at the headquarters buildings located across the globe with the recent pandemic and how can we do our best to reduce the strain of our ISP's.

Other large bandwidth users are limiting quality to reduce the demand on networks. Hopefully doesn’t last too much longer

Microsoft has the greatest servers in the world. Only thing you can do to put down the stress on IP's it is not using their services. But, that is no solution for you.

If it's just your ISP having the issues as opposed to Xbox services, I recommend limiting the quality of TV shows and films to standard as opposed to HD or 4K as they have the biggest strains on the internet if those services have yet to limit their content
quality.

Streaming services use up to 50-90% more bandwidth than gaming online does so just be mindful to keep services running for all.

Microsoft can work things out even remotely, so I guess we will be fine, it's normal to demand to increase in sutuations like this. On your ISP side, it would depend on the actions taken by your country, where I live, the goverment asked the IT companies
to keep a minimal personnel working only to be sure they can provide their services

Honestly it's mostly up to our ISPs and Microsoft to build out the infrastructure needed to support this ridiculous surge in demand. It may take a bit but they'll figure it out.
