6. How the numbers were collected
Prices are one payment in US dollars, as each brand listed them on the day the country's comparison post was priced, between 28 September 2026 and 25 October 2026. Two weeks means a plan of 12 to 16 days, a month 28 to 31 days, and only unlimited plans count: a fixed amount of data that then slows down is left out, unlimited with a daily full-speed allowance stays in. The index level is the median Ringo Light two-week price across the 194 countries it sells in; the history holds 3 snapshots from 28 September 2026 to 25 October 2026, 2 of them in October 2026.
Ringo Light is our own product. The index treats it like every other brand, and the live board lists each country where a rival is cheaper.
