Matrix analysis
How Jordan's Local Conditions Shape Provider Scores
Five equal-weight dimensions, five providers, one destination: Jordan. The matrix tells a specific story for this market.
Coverage: Jordan is a single-operator market (Zain). All 5 providers share the same infrastructure. Coverage scores compress because no provider has a carrier advantage. The dimension effectively neutralizes.
Network: Jordan 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 $6.84/day shifts the pricing calculus for heavy users. Overall spread: 0.49 points between #1 (HelloRoam) and #4 (Nomad). Provider selection matters significantly in Jordan.

Remote Work
HelloRoam
