If I had to guess, this chart lines up pretty well with the adoption of smartphones, so I’d say the drop is due to people using the default Android and iOS browsers on their phones. I’ve installed Firefox and use it on my phone but I don’t know many people who bother changing from the defaults.

No, I haven’t heard anything about that and I did some quick searching and couldn’t find anything relevant either. Basically don’t drink it or dump gallons of it in your local river.

It’s a better fucking deal than $76 for 55mbps lol

It definitely is, middle of nowhere Indiana here - I’m getting 1000/1000 for $95 and no cap. But I’m lucky enough to be in a location with competition, lots of areas in the US only have one option so they get charged whatever the ISP wants.
