Category breakdown for Latvia.
Coverage
Airalo wins the coverage category for Latvia with a score of 9.6/10. Airalo connects to LMT and Tele2 LV in Latvia, part of a 2-network partner roster. 5G reaches major urban areas in Latvia; rural zones rely on 4G LTE. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Latvia. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.6/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.
Pricing
Airalo wins the pricing category for Latvia with a score of 8.7/10. Plans for Latvia start at $0.97/GB through Airalo, one of the lowest per-GB rates globally. Available tiers: 1GB: $2.21, 3GB: $4.86, 5GB: $6.64, 10GB: $11.22, 20GB: $19.33. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 8.7/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Latvia's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
Speed
Airalo wins the speed category for Latvia with a score of 9.1/10. Average download speeds in Latvia reach 65 Mbps. 5G reaches major cities; rural areas rely on 4G LTE. Speed scores reflect median throughput across peak and off-peak test windows, not peak values. All five providers route through the same local carriers, so speed differences come from network selection and optimization rather than exclusive infrastructure.
