This site is useful and informative but I have a problem with their statement in bold. From what I understand, they use the cheapest plan that satisfies two conditions - it provides over 500MB of data and is valid for over 30 days. They present that this is the _best case scenario_. This is false of course, cheap plans have often a shitty value ratio. For example in France you can easily get 50G non-renewable contract for around 20-25 euros, SFR even offers 100G for 20. Maybe these are not the cheapest plans you can get, but they have much better ratio than what this site presents as a best case scenario for France (which is ~$0.1/MB)

What would be a better[0] way to normalize it and still make sense for most people? [0] for lack of a 'better' word. better being mostly subjective.

  The site and data normalization are great. The problem is that applying the phrase "best case scenario" is simply false, and it is just a distraction that was not necessary on the site. Amortizing my entire data usage over my entire cell plan (which includes talk & text), costs me literally $0.001/MB. You should not present $0.24/MB (US|Prepaid) as the "Best case scenario" when someone on a standard AT&T plan pays 240x less.

    This is a very fair point, sir. I'll pull the phrase.

You get 3-5GB for 20 euros from SFR. What is the magic plan that gives you 50GB for 20 euros?

  SFR RED gives you 100GB of which you can use 5GB in Europe. https://www.red-by-sfr.fr/forfaits-mobiles/forfait-4g-100go-sans-engagement/ https://www.red-by-sfr.fr/forfaits-mobiles/forfait-4g-100go-...

    I see. They have significantly increased their offer :O

    From June onward there will be a new EU legislation which would make it so that you can use thee whole 100GB in the EU (under small roaming restrictions).
