Comparison site Broadband Genie has today published a new 2023 Global Broadband Affordability Index, which explores the affordability of “high-speed broadband across the globe<\/em>“. Overall, the United Kingdom was found to rank 22nd out of a total database of 132 countries.<\/p>\n

Naturally, there are a few caveats to consider with this study<\/strong><\/a>. Firstly, some countries were excluded due to having populations under 50,000 (hard luck Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey etc.), or where the survey data on exchange rates or other data was deemed too inconsistent or unreliable. The research then compared the average reported monthly high-speed internet bill with the average wage for people from 132 countries.<\/p>\n

The study also seems to define “high-speed broadband<\/em>” as being a service that offers download speeds of “60Mb or more, unlimited data, cable\/ADSL<\/a><\/em>“, although we aren’t sure why only ADSL<\/a> and Cable lines get a specific mention (ADSL2+ can’t even do 60Mbps+ speeds, it peaks at around 24Mbps). But we assume the basket of packages they were checking included a wider mix of technologies (e.g. FTTP<\/a>, FTTC<\/a> etc.).<\/p>\n

Overall, the UK ranked 22nd, which put us on a par with peers like Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Not to mention that we’re above the USA, which sits down in 32nd. But the UK lags behind other European leaders like Switzerland, France and Germany in the rankings, although there\u2019s little between them in terms of the affordability rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
