Israel has best internet value for money globally.
The Global Internet Value index released by Surfshark has revealed that Israel is the country with the best internet in terms of value for money. The index is calculated by dividing each country’s internet speed by internet affordability to determine which countries are overpaying for their internet. Israel scored a 0.663, which is nine times higher than the global average, indicating that Israelis are getting their internet at a much fairer price compared to other countries. Singapore, Denmark, France, and Australia make up the top five spots globally.
Western Asia is led by Israel with an index nine times higher than the region’s average. Europe has 78% of citizens getting their internet at fair prices with Denmark first in the continent followed by France. North America has 70% of people getting their internet at fair prices with the U.S. providing more value for money than Canada.
The index was created by ranking 117 countries and territories based on the Internet Value index, determined by fixed broadband internet and mobile internet speed-to-affordability ratios. It was determined by examining four pillars that directly influence the quality to affordability aspect. 61% of people in the world are overpaying for their internet connections with the least affordable internet found in African countries. Oceania provides the most affordable internet due to New Zealand and Australia.
Surfshark has developed an antivirus that helps users control their online presence with its suite of VPNs, search tools, and data leak alert systems. This index has provided insight into the internet value of countries around the world, allowing people to make more informed decisions when choosing an internet provider. It is an important reminder that even in economically affluent countries, internet can be overpriced, and people should be aware of the options available to them.
