How the figures are worked out
The monthly figure is the operator's advertised standard rate. The 6-month total is the offer price for as many months as the operator's terms allow, then the standard rate, plus one-off fees an operator publishes with an amount; insurance is not included. The median is the middle unit. More on totals · The data, with its licence and method
