Corporate VPN huffing and puffing while everyone works from home over COVID-19? You're not alone, admins

Hmmm ... surely the very first hurdle is the Home->Office connection ?

I wonder how many ISPs broadband is actually up to the task ? I know that my last employers VPN functionality was not supported for connections under 5MB/s (no, I don't know why). Which was a barrier to some homeworking (and not accidentally, I suspect).

The unforeseen consequences of COVID are going to rumble for a while yet, and one of the first issues is all those ISP lies about their "up to" speeds.

For myself, full-fat VM fibre to my door is still delivering around 100 MB/s.
