CPE and bufferbloat

Given the new stresses of teleworking on the infrastructure, have
providers been getting more calls about "the internetz are slow"? And if
so, can you attribute any of it to bufferbloat?
Anecdotally, I once had to hunt down a problem where the network was
slagged because a friend was downloading a big game and it took me like
over an hour to figuring out what was going on. I got a new router and
flashed openWRT and turned on the shaping and it went from really bad to
pretty unnoticable. Most people are probably just going to contact the
help desk. Of course anything in the upstream would have been even
worse, which of course things like Zoom tickle heavily.
