It's because they are facing heavy competition from 5G internet. It's enough to stream at 720p, maybe even 1080p and of course it's more than enough to shop. Hell I know people working from home using it as their primary internet just fine.
It's almost as if competition improves the quality of products and their price...

And fiber in my area. An upstart fiber company did the hard work of putting lines in my whole neighborhood about 2 years ago. This prompted AT&T to finally wake up and they upgraded their copper lines to fiber last year. The new fiber company offered no caps and a flat monthly fee and so Comcast quickly lost at least half the neighborhood.

We finally got Sonic to our neighborhood, and you simply cannot beat unlimited 10GB fiber for $50/month. Sure most sites you connect to aren't that fast, yet, but it's top quality service at an unbeatable price. Not surprisingly Steam is by far the fastest site I've connected to for downloading.
I gotta say after decades of getting fucked over by Comcast/Xifnity it was pure joy to walk into their office with my kit and ask to cancel my service. Their rep. never even tried to talk me out of it, nor ask about if/who I switched to! Just processed my request and let me walk out.
Sonic has to be giving them a run for their money in the markets Sonic serves, because just in our apt. building of 24 units over half of us have switched from C/X to Sonic!
