Who pays the most and least for broadband in the EU?

In an increasingly connected world, internet access has become an essential facility in homes across Europe.

In 2025, 94% of individuals living in the EU used the internet in the last three months, while only 4% went the whole year without using it, according to the latest Eurostat figures.

Furthermore, mobile devices were used to connect to the internet by almost nine out of 10 individuals in the EU last year.

However, the cost of this access varies dramatically across the globe.

Luxembourg is the country that has the most expensive internet service in the EU, with an average monthly cost of €49.99, according to research by the broadband comparison site Broadband Genie. The study analysed 2,631 broadband tariffs across 214 countries worldwide.
