2025 Broadband Pricing Index

In a period where every dollar counts for most Americans, consumer broadband services are delivering another year of declining prices and faster speeds. This sixth edition of USTelecom’s Broadband Pricing Index shows U.S. broadband services have continued a long-running trend of pairing faster speeds with lower bills. These price declines stand in sharp contrast to overall U.S. inflation, which stood at 2.4 percent from March 2024 to March 2025. The continued progress of broadband affordability and quality over the past year adds to a 10-year record of soaring consumer value. Indeed, broadband prices for today’s most popular services (100-940 Mbps) have declined by 43.1 percent over the past 10 years, while the cost of overall consumer goods and services has risen by 35.8 percent.
