Trump FCC Deregulation Cut Internet Prices 85% and Doubled Broadband Speeds

Summary
Internet prices fell 85% and speeds doubled for both wireless and wired connections after the Trump FCC repealed Obama-era net-neutrality rules, according to the latest report.
The report attributes those gains to deregulation-driven investment, arguing looser broadband rules encouraged network spending and faster service expansion.
Net neutrality had been criticized by opponents of the repeal as risking a wider digital divide, but the new figures are presented as evidence of broader consumer benefits.
The update frames the first-term FCC rollback as a longer-running policy test over whether lighter regulation can lower costs and improve internet infrastructure.
