Picodi experts also compared prices for Internet with a speed of 1 Gbit/s. Over the past 4 years, the cost of a gigabit connection in the world has fallen by an average of 15%, and the number of countries where such speeds are offered has increased twofold. 

Residents of Ukraine will pay the least for a tariff with a speed of 1 Gbit/s ($8.2 per month). Users in Romania and Russia pay about $10.

Uzbekistan is not in the list of countries where 1 Gbit/s speed is available. However, Uztelecom offers the UNLIM 1000 tariff, which provides gigabit Internet, for 3.2 million soums. Thus, in terms of the cost of high-speed Internet, Uzbekistan is at the top of the ranking – next to Venezuela, where residents of a 1 Gbit/s connection costs more than $300.
