The idea

What is the Internet Connectivity Index?

Staying online is essential for today’s traveler, but access isn’t seamless everywhere. Some countries allow for an effortless connection, while others still present barriers like censorship and high costs. The Internet Connectivity Index maps this digital landscape using four pillars:

Cyber safety

A secure digital environment protects travelers from the unseen. From secure infrastructure to strong legal frameworks, high scores mean fewer risks while browsing, banking, or working online abroad.

Internet quality

Fast, stable connections define a smooth online experience. We rated countries on broadband and mobile performance, from video calls and streaming to uploading photos without delay.

Internet freedom

An open internet keeps the world at your fingertips. Countries with high scores allow uncensored access to news, social media, and essential services, ensuring travelers stay fully connected to the World Wide Web.

Internet affordability

Affordable mobile data unlocks true digital freedom. We analyzed the price per gigabyte to show where travelers can stay connected without the high costs.

Our insights

What can we learn from the data?

Europe leads the way

France, Denmark, Italy, Poland, and Spain claim the top five spots. They offer a blend of fast connections, strong digital freedom, and affordable data, making it a winning mix for travelers who rely on staying connected.

Safety meets speed in the north

Finland, Canada, the U.S., and Germany stand out for cybersecurity. These countries take online protection seriously, offering secure connections and strong legal safeguards.

Low cost, high performance

Italy, France, and Poland deliver both affordability, performance, and cyber safety. Budget travelers and remote workers alike get more for less in these countries.

Emerging markets face hurdles

Bangladesh, Algeria, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe score low across several categories. While affordable data may be available, limited freedom and unstable connections still pose challenges for travelers.

North America offers quality at a cost

The U.S. and Canada offer some of the best networks globally, but at a much higher price point than Europe. Travelers should expect reliable access and a steeper bill.

Freedom isn’t universal

Countries like China and the UAE offer reliable infrastructure and great speeds, but score zero on internet freedom. Connectivity without openness is still a limitation.

What do these numbers mean?

We combined travel needs with global data to rate how user-friendly a country's internet is. Every country was scored across four equally weighted categories: safety, quality, freedom, and affordability.

Each score was standardized to a 0-100 scale:

Above 50: Above-average performance
50: Global average
Below 50: Below average

Our data came from trusted international reports and indices, including the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index, GSMA Mobile Connectivity Index, and the Human Freedom Index. We prioritized the newest data to keep the index current. Most findings reflect 2024 and 2025, with some earlier data points included where recent figures were unavailable.
