Key drivers

  • Recent ACS 1-year trend rose about 1.7 percentage points per year
  • Broadband adoption among older households is nearing saturation, so momentum should slow modestly
  • Age 65+ cohort replacement supports continued gains
  • Survey and first-print noise are small but structural slowdown uncertainty dominates
