I’d argue that the main driver for all of this is the increased rollout of fiber. Companies like AT&T started broadly rolling out gigabit plans for what people were paying for sub 50 megabit cable plans. And the lines handled neighborhood network congestion better.
Comcast has to figure out how to be competitive, or they are going to get their asses handed to them.
AT&T and Comcast are both terrible companies with horrible customer service, but fiber is always going to be better than copper.
I was hoping Starlink would also push traditional providers to be better, but it hasn’t gotten its shit together well enough yet to be a real threat. Should have known better than to think Musk would be helpful.

Except fragility
If only wire shielding and stress relief was a thing that existed…
My internet has been much more reliable since I moved to fiber.
