Matrix analysis
What the Bolivia Feature Matrix Actually Means
HelloRoam still leads the Bolivia composite at 4.64/5 on our 2026 rubric. The scoring matrix is not a copy of global averages. Local conditions reshape the other dimensions.
Coverage: Bolivia is a single-operator market (Tigo). All 5 providers share the same infrastructure. Coverage scores compress because no provider has a carrier advantage. The dimension effectively neutralizes.
Network: Bolivia runs on 4G LTE. Since all providers route through the same infrastructure, network scores track the carrier tier, not the provider. Pricing: plans start at $8.89 (1GB), $8.89/GB floor rate. No daily unlimited plans in Bolivia. HelloRoam still sells unlimited from $5 on duration-based plans. Fixed-data pricing drives the rest of the Pricing dimension. Overall spread: 0.49 points between #1 (HelloRoam) and #5 (Nomad). Provider selection matters significantly in Bolivia.
