Point Topic has released its latest broadband tariff country scorecard, which shows that South Africa performs well when it comes to entry-level broadband pricing. However, it does not rank well with regards to average broadband tariffs.
Point Topic’s broadband tariff country scorecard compared the entry-level and average tariffs of 2,950 residential broadband services provided by 279 operators in 82 countries in Q3 2014.
The following chart shows Point Topic’s findings. The countries with the lowest numerical chart ranking are the countries offering the lowest tariffs.
“Our study shows that Macedonia offers both the lowest entry-level tariff and the lowest average tariff. Qatar has the highest entry-level tariff, while Bolivia has the highest average tariff ranking,” Point Topic said.
South Africa ranked 18th out of 82 countries for entry-level broadband pricing. This shows that the country has relatively affordable low-end broadband products.
When it came to average pricing, though, the situation did not look as good. Here South Africa ranked 64th out of 82 countries, which points to expensive average broadband prices.
