Can current internet infrastructure handle 100% remote work + 100% cloud based servers for all businesses and home users?

I was just thinking about this the other day. It seems like in legacy architecture, everything is behind a VPN/firewall and mostly contained within the corporate network / corporate physical hardware. So all the traffic isn’t actually hitting the internet.

As we transition to the cloud there is less reliance on servers on prem and now all in the cloud. As more and more business move to the cloud that is really moving more and more traffic over the public internet.

Especially during this time I’ve seen very inconsistent network results from my ISP (Ookla, iPERF, etc.) theoretically, do you guys think the current internet infrastructure could support all businesses really starting to use the cloud or do you think business and home ISP providers can’t handle this sort of massive increase in demand?
