Spalter continued, "This is a continuation of a years-long, downward trend in broadband prices that coincides with accelerating speeds that have unlocked broadband-fueled innovation across the country. Based on this research, the truth is: more Americans have more affordable broadband service choices today than they did one year ago.”
Amid Washington’s policy debate around broadband affordability, USTelecom's new research analyzed not only the pricing trends of the highest-speed and most popular tiers of broadband service, but now entry-level broadband offerings.
Among the new report's findings, as stated by USTelecom:
-- "The U.S. broadband marketplace is working for consumers, as reflected in entry-level price declines of 22.9% from 2015-2021 and 9.1% in the past year alone."
-- "Adjusted for inflation, these entry-level price cuts translate into real consumer savings of 31.2% over the six-year period and 10.8% from 2020-2021."
