Households spent nearly HUF 21,000 on communications per month last year, the National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH) announced, citing market research data.
This amount is 13% more than in 2022. Although NMHH pointed out that this was still below the average rate of inflation.
More than half of the communication expenses, HUF 12,400 per month, is made up of mobile services. This is followed by the cost of the TV service (HUF 4,100 on average) and home internet (HUF 3,500).
Fewer people use the landline phone at home, so on average a household spends only HUF 600 on it, and HUF 300 on mobile internet that is not connected to the voice service, which is also used by few.
