Wired Internet and TV Prices Up, Fixed Wireless Prices Down

Customers in the U.S. are paying higher prices than they did a year ago for TV and streaming bundles, according to a new report from J.D. Power. They’re also paying a little more for wired internet, whether or not they choose to bundle with other services, but are paying a little less for fixed wireless internet compared to a few months ago. The average monthly price for a cable or satellite television bundle was $187.99 through January 2025, according to the report. For wired internet alone, the average price was $83.35 per month through February 2025. Wired internet bundles, meanwhile, cost an average of $170.06 per month through February 2025. Compared to a year ago, this price was up by nearly $8 per month, the biggest reported increase overall.  The only decrease in prices in the report was for unbundled wireless internet, which cost an average of $71.53 per month in February 2025. That was down from $73.64 per month in November 2024 but up from $71.45 per month in February 2025.
