Every time there’s a football game? At least that I’m hearing in the case of Spain. No, they don’t throw a switch, but they turn off enough CDNs to effectively turn off the internet.

Again, no personal experience, but have heard enough from folks here to believe it.

Like most LLMs, the links you cite don't back up what you wrote.

If you don't know the difference between preventing a group of sportsball fans from watching illegal streams and actually taking a country offline, delete yourself.
