South Africa may have some of the world’s cheapest cities to live in, but using the internet in Cape Town and Johannesburg is surprisingly expensive by global standards.

South Africans living in the country’s two major cities spend more on their monthly internet costs than people living in New York, Tokyo, and even the perennially expensive Zurich, according to a report by Deutsche Bank. When comparing life in the global financial capitals, most other things, from rent to the cost of a cappuccino, were far cheaper in Johannesburg and Cape Town, making the cost of getting online even more of a shock to the pocket.
