The Q4 2021 OECD Fixed Voice and Leased Line Benchmarking Service update is now available for download. For a mid business user (making 100 fixed voice calls per month, which equates to 200 minutes per month), the Ev Avantaj 100 plan from Turk Telecom in Turkey is the cheapest at USD PPP 11 per month excluding VAT. Second cheapest is the Business Ari with 240 talk minutes from Telia in Estonia at USD PPP 19 excluding VAT. TDC Erhverv of Denmark is the most expensive, with its PSTN Professional Plus service, at USD PPP 68 excluding VAT, while second most expensive is New Zealand’s Spark, with its Business Wireless + Landline (unlimited NZ and AUS calls) service, at USD PPP 65 excluding VAT.
The TDC plan is just over 6 times the cost of the Turk Telecom Plan, while the OECD average stands at USD PPP 38 excluding VAT.
For most countries, the bulk of the cost comes from the upfront rental charges including calls.
