Report on Mobile and Fixed Broadband Prices in Europe at the end of 2019 is out!

The study provides comprehensive data on 2019 retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers for consumers in the 27 EU States and the UK, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea, and the USA. The five largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the two or three largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in each country were included. For the first time, data for both fixed and mobile broadband offers was collected during the same monitoring period, from 7 to 20 October 2019.

The set of baskets cover 5 fixed broadband baskets of different download speeds and 5 mobile broadband baskets (for tablet/modem/data card use) of different download volumes purchased individually (stand-alone), 7 individual mobile handheld baskets with voice telephony and a set of 17 baskets for representative households, fully conform to the guidelines issued by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC).

Europe-wide overview, country comparisons and year-on-year trends are provided in this report. Additionally, fixed, and mobile broadband price developments in study countries are discussed in individual country chapters.
