It appears that general browsing trends went up year after year for pretty much every month we have data for. Some months, up to 45% more traffic from the previous year. I might be misreading this chart, but this looks like a bigger increase than just 12% over multiple years.

Figure 2. ISP monthly normalized downstream traffic change during the COVID-19 pandemic with percentage increase compared to the previous year.
