Coverage: Tunisia is a single-operator market (OOREDOO TN). All 5 providers share the same infrastructure. Coverage scores compress because no provider has a carrier advantage. The dimension effectively neutralizes.
Network: Tunisia runs on 5G. Since all providers route through the same infrastructure, network scores track the carrier tier, not the provider. Pricing: plans start at $2.59 (1GB), $2.59/GB floor rate. Unlimited daily data from $5.31/day shifts the pricing calculus for heavy users. Overall spread: 0.49 points between #1 (HelloRoam) and #4 (Nomad). Provider selection matters significantly in Tunisia.
