Available tiers: 1GB: $5.04, 3GB: $12.69, 5GB: $20.70, 20GB: $60.83. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Guernsey's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
