Average Internet Bill Rose Under Trump: Free Press

Average monthly broadband bills increased 19%, adjusted for inflation, for consumers in the first three years of the Trump administration, Free Press said. That's a nominal increase of more than four times the rate of inflation, Thursday's report said. Despite a decrease in the average cost of broadband for low-income consumers, FP found an increase in prices for the poorest. It said actual prices paid and median published prices rose during then-FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's tenure.
