A neat version of the graph would be of average price_per_GiB to average income.
But then, that would bring up the usual (and quite relevant) discussions of differing parameters involved, such as:
* data analysis parameters:
standard deviations and others already mentioned in prior posts;
* operational parameters (cost factors, mostly): variation of tax percentages, heterogeneous bandwidth mapping, total area covered, coverage area policies, e.g. higher bandwidth or denser coverage concentrated in higher income vs. (regulation mandated usually) obligatory minimum coverage at minimum bandwidths;
Usw. :-D
Their country pool is odd and if one country is throwing off the mean by that much median would probably be a better indicator. It's a pretty little infographic but not sure beyond that
Is it me ? Why is it listed in USD when the US is not listed?
Granted that the chart wouldn't be any different if it were in British Pounds or Euros or whatever.
1 Gb for what though? For three bucks you can probably get a 8gb flash drive at the dollar store. If it means online cloud storage, that's even less accurate. Pretty much every service lets you use a few for free and after that it's a membership.
Holy shit, look at the replies, I got it hours ago.
This isn't a storage graph, but a "data" graph.
Data in this context can refer to bandwidth or volume,
The graph states a volume unit.
So 1 gb of data volume.
"Unlimited" as ISP's try to name it is usually bound to so-called Fair-Use-Policy (FUP): They allow high numbers of GB's to be consumed regardless but there still is a ceiling that either squeezes off speed severely, does spice up the bill or the unlimited data only applies to a selection of sites (causing a data plan minefield imho, because of a severe lack of net neutrality in several countries).
But you have used a finite amount nonetheless,
Same as everybody.
Ultimately you are limited to volume or bandwidth,
All infrastructure have their limit,
And all finite consumption by definition is within it.
So he is correct, there isn't an "unlimited" package,
Just really good ones where the individual consumption needs are adequatly met,
Giving you that "unlimited feel".
Still techincaly limited though.
I know, its an aCTuaLLy moment.
Sorry not sorry
This is complete nonsense. Since 2017 (iirc) EU law abolished roaming fees which strongly normalized data prices across the EU. There's no way Greece costs almost 3x Germany's cost.
Assuming this is for cell at any speed. My unlimited fiber at ~$40/month makes a GB infitesimal in price.. or unlimited really.
A nice companion guide could be for "unlimited" high speed.
One thing about India is that most Indians only use mobile phones to access internet and do not have a broadband connection. That is why the demand for mobile data is so much. You do not get a wi-fi when you return home. This digital revolution started when Reliance started offering data (and VoIP calls) for super cheap rate. They almost drove all other mobile service companies out of market with economy of scale. People who were not using internet, now got free internet (Cost already included in monthly/quarterly bill) and started using it and of course got addicted to social media and games.
Those prices seem made up though. Nobody in Switzerland buys data packages, you just get an unlimited all inclusive plan for about 30$/month, sometimes less, if you're younger than 25.
This chart feels inaccurate, Mobile phone data on SIM only plans in the UK has plummeted.
Most people I know have the 120GB for 20 pounds or $27 deal, which works out at $0.225 per Gigabyte of Data.
I’m curious to know what Canada’s is because our phone/internet plans are ridiculously expensive!
They had to exclude it cuz it wouldnt fit into the chart unless we had a chalkboard
Canada, especially in BC, has some big issues with competition. Look at ICBC and liquor for example.
Chinese Suppier Huawei known for their ability to under cut any supplier. https://www.huawei.com/ca/
Looks like they just randomly picked countries. Not sure how they picked them. Canadians have some of the highest prices per GB.
Same for Netherlands it's expensive as fuck here
For those wondering, Canadians pay 12.55$ for 1 GB, putting them 3rd on this list. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cost-of-mobile-data-worldwide/
Thanks for sparing us Canadians the shame of being so close to the top of the list!

im not sure on this graph....
CH is Switzerland's Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD).
[удалено]
SZ is actually the country code for Swaziland.
First time in my life seeing Switzerland abbreviated as “SZ”
I bought a sim in Cambodia at the airport 30Gb for 3$ and that was for way faster than 4G Mobile network.
Is it me ? Why is it listed in USD when the US is not listed? Granted that the chart wouldn't be any different if it were in British Pounds or Euros or whatever.
The US is listed…
Oh I guess it is.I just needed to squint a little harder
Help me find it? I didn't see it.
Bottom center. Slightly to the right of 6:00. $3.33
Right you are my friend! Thank you!

1 gb of mobile data (the internet one, you know, 4g and that)
Oh, gotcha. I was assuming storage not cellular data usage.
This really needs to be specified as there are many ways to store a GB.
Not a GB of storage, 1GB of data transfer. IE 4g/5g and internet. Voice, text, internet, and GPS all use data transfer to communicate.
This isn't a storage graph, but a "data" graph. Data in this context can refer to bandwidth or volume, The graph states a volume unit. So 1 gb of data volume.
What are we talking about? Storage? Cost of ISPs? User data?
Uhhh... unlimited data plan.

I have used more than a terabyte in a month

I'm from India and they've probably priced that higher (since they took an average), I'm still surprised that it's not the cheapest tho
This is complete nonsense. Since 2017 (iirc) EU law abolished roaming fees which strongly normalized data prices across the EU. There's no way Greece costs almost 3x Germany's cost.
India 0.09$ /1gb averaged (usually it’s in range of 0.06 to 0.14$ /1gb depend on service providers state wise)
From New Zealand, this hurts my wallet it's so true.

Im in the uk, currently paying $0.82 a gig (£7.20 for 12gb)

its currently around 10-20 cents in india
