Why Your Internet Bill Is the New Inflation Signal

In this episode of Inflation Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into an overlooked corner of the CPI: internet and cable bills. With May's CPI hitting 4.2%, most attention is on food and energy, but communication costs have been quietly rising at a pace not seen in years. Lucas breaks down how broadband pricing has shifted from steady deflation to 3% annual increases, driven by infrastructure buildout costs and consolidation among providers. They discuss what this means for household budgets, why the official CPI may understate the real hit, and how the recent FCC policy changes factor in. If you've noticed your monthly bill creeping up, this episode explains why—and what it signals about broader inflation trends. #Inflation #CPI #InternetBills #Broadband #Cable #FCC #Telecom #ConsumerPrices #CostOfLiving #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InflationExplained #MayCPI #CommunicationCosts #Infrastructure #Consolidation #HouseholdBudget Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
