The latest report from Point Topic<\/a> has revealed some big variations in 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> (Mobile Broadband) based data pricing and usage allowances across Europe, with consumers in the United Kingdom generally placing about mid-table. But other countries seem to offer faster mobile speeds.<\/p>\n

We should point out that the telecoms analyst has used $US Dollars for their report and applied a measure of Purchasing Power Parity<\/a> (PPP), which enables them to make direct comparisons of tariffs across the world by adjusting the local currency and exchange rate to make the buying power of $1 (PPP) in country A equal to $1 (PPP) in country B (note: \u00a31 = $1.33 at today\u2019s rate).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> This analysis is based on more than 800 tariffs from all major mobile broadband providers from the EU-28, Norway and Switzerland.<\/div>\n

Otherwise the study found that the average monthly charge for a residential 4G<\/a> or 5G<\/a> service varied from a high of $73.62 in Greece to just $17.27 in Italy, with the United Kingdom just edging itself into the cheaper half of the table on $33.67.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere the UK delivered an average data allowance of 112.5GB (GigaBytes) and a related average cost per GB of data of $0.30, which once again placed us more into the favourable half of the table.<\/p>\n

\"point_topic_q2_2020_eu_mobile_data_cost_and_use\"<\/p>\n

At this point it’s noted that only a few countries offer mobile plans with “unlimited data<\/em>” usage and they’ve been put into a separate table. Customers paid $54.84 for an entry-level unlimited data plan in Sweden (most expensive), while in Switzerland they were charged just $15.57 (cheapest). Once again the UK placed roughly mid-table in the results.<\/p>\n

\"point_topic_q2_2020_eu_unlimited_data_cost\"<\/p>\n

The full report<\/a> also includes some data on the “average theoretical downstream speed<\/em>” of residential mobile broadband services in each country, which puts the UK near the bottom in terms of performance. However, this appears to be based more on headline or theoretical capability than actual performance, which isn’t much use when considering the highly variable nature of mobile connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
