MobileCompare.co.nz Reports Record Site Visitors as NZ places 218 out of 237 countries when comparing the price of 1GB of mobile data.
Auckland, New Zealand – Mobile Compare, New Zealand's leading mobile plan comparison website, experienced an unprecedented surge in site visitors during the month of September. This substantial increase in traffic comes at a time when more Kiwis are grappling with the challenges posed by the rising cost of living, which includes the price we pay for mobile data.
Recent research released by Cable.co.uk has painted an unfavorable picture of the cost of mobile data in New Zealand with the average cost per 1GB of mobile data coming in USD 5.89. Compared with the rest of the Oceania region we are a long way behind.
The average 1GB of data costs USD 0.09 in Fiji, making it the cheapest country in Oceania, and the 3rd cheapest in the world. Oceania’s other island nations are mostly in the more expensive half of the table, however Samoa comes in at second cheapest in the region at USD 0.36. New Zealand is a long way behind – 18th in the region out of 24 countries, with an average 1GB cost of USD 5.89.
This places New Zealand at 218th out of 237 countries for the average cost per 1GB of mobile data. It is of little surprise that kiwis are seeking ways to reduce their mobile phone tariff costs.
