WASHINGTON, August 12, 2024 – After years of trailing behind general inflation, internet prices for some speed tiers have recently risen more quickly than other consumer costs.

From June 2022 to June 2024, the Internet price index jumped by around 7.8%, surpassing the 6% increase in the overall Consumer Price Index during the same period, as noted in a new study released by the Technology Policy Institute last Monday.
