Internet expensive in Georgia

IT analysts suggest that Georgia pays more for the internet than the other neighboring S. Caucasus countries and even Russia. In comparison, Georgia pays more than 10 USD for 1 megabyte of Internet package, whereas for the same amount Armenia pays around 2.5 USD, Azerbaijan around 5.7 USD and Russia 3 USD. There is a monopoly of major internet providers: Caucasus Online and Silknet. However, the service is not always satisfactory and there are some customer complaints. Other small providers hold around 20% of total market.
