A study commissioned by CTIA finds that 5G Home Broadband competition in the US has driven down cable prices by 17%, saving American households up to $28.5 billion from 2023 to 2025, with cable providers lowering prices to compete despite many customers not switching to 5G.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face pricing pressure from expanding 5G Home networks even if your customers stay with cable. Take advantage of new spectrum releases to innovate or adjust pricing before the next wave of 5G competition tightens your margins further.
