Yeah but most of the internet users are youngsters right I mean students and all. These people will use bandwidth isn't it ,they will download movies stuff from telegram with all additional data provided and all so can it leads to increased traffic isn't it?
 
Increase and saturation of networks are two different things.Networks are built to handle increase/decrease of load. let me tell you one case study, During IPL time networks are most saturated due to everyone(mostly) tuning to Hotstar. there are many people including me who download hotstar just before IPL and delet it after IPL. they even have concurrent 8-10 million live streams,so it can be considered stressing of networks.
 
This news article proves my point.
This will only also means one things that there is no need for govt to provide additional spectrum to handle load since according to them there is not much load. I am saying this based on the early info that govt is providing temporary spectrum for operators .
 
Pings have increased on Airtel VDSL but still shows normal in Speedtest app. Ping to google used to be 6-7 ms. Instagram is unusable

I find the Instagram result to be quite strange on my ISP which uses Airtel transit. I noticed that even though Facebook owns instagram, traceroutes to instagram.com go via Airtel Transit rather than Extreme IX in case of Facebook.
