How we rank: Internet providers
The Score (0–100) is a weighted sum of the factors below. Each factor is the weighted average of its metrics; each metric is calculated from one published fact. Missing facts score zero, and a service is ranked only when enough of its Score is backed by facts.
A service is ranked only when at least 60% of its Score is backed by verified facts.
← Internet providers in Belarus 2026: home broadband ranking
Network 30%
Whether the provider sells fibre to the home or building to residential customers, the highest advertised download speed on a published tariff (log scale up to 10 Gbit/s), and how many of three technologies it offers: fibre, cable, DSL. Speed is advertised, not measured.
| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| Fibre to the home or building | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| Top advertised speed, Mbit/s | Logarithmic, full score at 10,000 |
| Connection types (of 3) | Linear from 0 (0) to 3 (100) |
Cost 35%
Monthly price with tax of the cheapest internet-only tariff with a stated speed of at least 100 Mbit/s, at the standard price after any promotion, as a percentage of the country's reference price (100% equals the reference; the score falls from 50% to 200%). The local-currency price is shown next to it and is comparable only within the country. We also count whether a tariff with no minimum term exists and whether standard installation is free without a temporary offer.
| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| Price of 100 Mbit/s+ tariff, % of country reference | Linear from 50 (100) to 200 (0) — lower is better |
| Tariff with no minimum term | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| Free installation | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
Service 20%
Whether home-internet customers get an app or online account, and whether general support with a live person runs around the clock every day. A faults-only line or a bot does not count.
| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| App or online account | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| General support 24/7 | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
Transparency 15%
Whether the provider's legal entity holds a telecom regulator's licence or registration, per the register or a number on its official site (the UK has no licences, so there we count membership of an Ofcom-approved dispute scheme), and whether contract terms are published without logging in.
| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| Regulator licence or registration | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| Contract terms published | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
