UK remote workers are quitting early on Fridays in summer, cutting afternoon broadband use by 8%.

UK remote workers are increasingly ending their workdays early on Fridays during summer, reducing broadband traffic by 8% from 3-5 PM compared to winter, according to Virgin Media. Despite 48% lacking formal early Friday off policies, 32% admit to logging off early without permission. Over 60% feel they've earned the right to finish early, with 59% reporting no guilt about it. This trend emerges as public sector productivity struggles, with councils and charities considering four-day work weeks.
