Internet Cost

Monthly cost in USD for a standard broadband subscription. This indicator is inverted: cheaper internet scores higher. The gap between countries is dramatic — Eastern European countries like Ukraine and Romania offer unlimited gigabit connections for under $15/month, while island nations and some Gulf states charge $80 or more for slower speeds. For long-stay travellers, internet costs compound significantly over months.
