What does Monthly equivalent mean?
A monthly equivalent divides a full-term price by the number of months to make prices easier to compare. It does not necessarily describe an instalment payment.
Why it matters
A plan advertised with an annual total may show a much smaller monthly equivalent beside it. The buyer should still establish the amount due now and the billing arrangement. The comparison is most useful when the products have similar conditions. If simultaneous connections or other included terms differ, show those differences rather than treating the divided price as the complete purchase decision.
A practical example
