How much does home internet cost in Madagascar?

Today's two figures are shown above: the average monthly price of a residential access with at least 100 GB (home basket) and of an access without a volume cap (unlimited basket), across all providers, in Ariary and US dollars.

Why a 100 GB threshold?

100 GB is the sum of a reference-household usage profile: 2 hours of standard-definition video a day, 30 minutes of video calls a day, browsing and social media, and software updates. Each line relies on the consumption figures the services themselves publish; the detail is on this page and in the index's versioned methodology.

What counts as unlimited?

Residential offers sold without any published volume cap: no monthly quota and no fair-use threshold (FUP). Peak-hour deprioritisation is not a cap. This basket corresponds to the home threshold of the international meaningful-connectivity standard: an unlimited broadband connection at home.

Is Starlink available in Madagascar?

Yes, the satellite service has been sold in Madagascar since June 2024, with tariffs displayed in Ariary. It is one of the providers the index measures, in both baskets.

Is this data available via API?

Yes. Each basket is a JSON endpoint on api.stileex.xyz (fixed-internet-price-home and fixed-internet-price-unlimited), with the versioned methodology on /v1/methodology/sfipi-home and /v1/methodology/sfipi-unlimited, for your applications and your AI agents.

The Stileex Fixed Internet Price Index (SFIPI) tracks the monthly price of connecting a home: the "100 GB home" basket and the "unlimited" basket, across all providers (fibre, 4G/5G box, satellite), measured every day from published tariffs.

The volume ladder

The cheapest residential offer per provider at each monthly volume rung, at the steady-state price excluding promotions, from the latest collection. A dash means no offer from that provider reaches the rung on monthly billing.

Why these two baskets?

The home basket: 100 GB, a computed need

The 100 GB threshold is not a decreed round number: it is the sum of a reference-household usage profile, each line estimated from the consumption figures the services themselves publish (about 1 GB per hour of standard-definition video according to Netflix, about 1 GB per hour of video calls according to Zoom). The profile lives inside the index's versioned method; this page reads it from the same source the computation uses.

Standard-definition video (2 h/day): 60 Go
Video calls (30 min/day): 15 Go
Browsing and social media: 15 Go
Software updates: 10 Go
Total per month: the basket threshold: 100 Go

Reality check: the market's real entry-level offers sit between 100 and 250 GB per month, so no provider is ever sampled on a fictional offer.

The unlimited basket: the international standard

The unlimited basket takes the cheapest offer sold without any published volume cap: neither a monthly quota nor a fair-use threshold (FUP); peak-hour deprioritisation is not a cap. It corresponds to the home threshold of the international "meaningful connectivity" standard: an unlimited broadband connection at home.

For scale: the total fixed data traffic published by the regulator ARTEC, divided by the number of subscriptions, comes to roughly 400 GB per month per subscription (2023, Stileex calculation on ARTEC data).

How the prices move

100 GB home basket

Unlimited basket

Market average monthly price for each basket, measured every day. The series builds over time.

Method

For each provider, the residential home-internet offers (fibre, 4G/5G box, satellite) on monthly billing are collected every day from its public tariffs; the satellite provider's offers, whose site publishes no machine-readable feed, are recorded through controlled entry from its displayed tariffs. The retained price is the steady-state monthly price: when a promotional price is displayed next to a crossed-out one, the crossed-out figure counts, and "X for the first months then Y" counts as Y. Commitment length is recorded but never excludes an offer; night-only bonuses are excluded from the volume; one-off fees (installation, hardware, deposit, activation) are archived separately and never enter the monthly price; an offer whose sale is suspended is not retained. Home basket: the cheapest offer providing at least 100 GB per month. Unlimited basket: the cheapest offer without a published volume cap. The market figure is the average across providers, published only when every provider of the basket is present. USD and EUR conversions use the Central Bank of Madagascar reference rate.
