ISPs, most notably Comcast, contribute millions to campaign funds to buy votes instead of, you know, updating their shit that's put to shame by other countries.
Google Fiber happens.
TWC starts offering Fiber customers 100mbps service at the same cost as their normal shitty service (that I'm pretty sure didn't even exist a couple years ago) and now has 50mbps and 100mbps available to just about anyone.
AT&T comes out with gigabit service.
tl;dr -- Competition happened.
