Matrix analysis
Beyond the Numbers: Honduras Provider Scores Explained
Five equal-weight dimensions, five providers, one destination: Honduras. The matrix tells a specific story for this market.
Coverage: Honduras is a single-operator market (Claro). All 5 providers share the same infrastructure. Coverage scores compress because no provider has a carrier advantage. The dimension effectively neutralizes.
Network: Honduras 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 $3.99 (1GB), $3.99/GB floor rate. Unlimited daily data from $5.99/day shifts the pricing calculus for heavy users. Overall spread: 0.49 points between #1 (HelloRoam) and #4 (Nomad). Provider selection matters significantly in Honduras.
Use cases

Video Streaming
Airalo

Remote Work
