Units: percent of monthly GNI per capita
Date checked: 2026-07-17
Evidence: Provides the 2025 fixed-broadband basket values relative to monthly GNI per capita.
The basket price is divided by monthly GNI per capita. Small rounded differences can create ties, so values retain two decimal places.
The ranking uses ITU’s 2025 fixed-broadband 5GB basket and orders complete economy observations from lowest to highest. Values are compared as a share of monthly GNI per capita rather than as prices in a common currency.
All entries use the same ITU 2025 basket definition, income basis and percentage unit.
