How does this account for data caps vs unlimited plans?

It attributes competition to cutting U.S. broadband prices in the United States since 2014.

However broadband prices have remained flat since 2014, and only fiberoptic has come down in price. The data also subsidizes DSL as broadband.

Fiberoptic deployment is famously anemic in the United States. It has categorically been developed like a caetel, avoiding compeition.

So imagine $80 for DSL being spun as a result of competition.

Seems par foe the course for Visual Capitalist.
