The Internet Speed Price War in Nepal
There is a war going on right now in Nepal. Not with guns and bullets,
but with speed and price. Internet Service Providers or ISP are at war
to get new customers.
How? By announcing new and bigger packages but at the same rate as previous.
But how is this possible? And is it why our internet sucks these days?

Actually what you said about 1 Mbps = $5, is the international bandwidth price. In Nepal, about 90%+ bandwidth usage is from popular sites like KZread, Facebook, and Tiktok. These popular sites have their cache servers installed in Nepal, so when users consume content from these sites they don't use the international bandwidth. The content they request is served locally through caching from NPIX. So, the pricing description you gave there actually doesn't make any sense. If we think about it, only a few percentages of bandwidth are from international, you may ask senior network engineers from ISP for that. So, ISPs spend money only on the maintenance of the cache servers and on their upgrades. That is the reason why CGNET why ok with easily bringing 120 Mbps at a such low price. So, you may be thinking why other ISPs didn't do this from the start. I don't know, maybe they were enjoying profits from all of this. CG on the other hand didn't go for the profit, as they wanted to expand their userbase.

As someone with network engineering background, I can add few more points regarding IPv6 adoption, which is a hot topic in the networking world.. Nepal is ahead of many countries in terms of IPv6 adoption too. The dual stack strategy used by the ISP(Vianet, Worldlink, etc) needs to be appreciated too. Not only the current scenario, but also the future circumstances are taken under consideration.
Always an awesome content!! Long way to go!!❤

Wow, good going man. The way you explained I Like.. Still, I am a bit confused n it also doesn't make any sense, when it comes to 1mbps for $5 it's too much. Bcz me being a content creator I used 5 to 10gb data per day... Ke yo saxxi ho ra.. 🙄🙄 But Keep it up... I feel proud when Nepali start making computer & Tech content...
🤯 Mind blown 🤯 🤯🤯 god level broad vision, research and hard work
Quality content ❤️
You miss a big point here. Company like Worldlink has installed big big CDN of google, Facebook, Netflix, TikTok and pubg. So 85% of the internet traffic is consumed on local proxy server. So now ISP can buy lesser international bandwidth from this arrangement. I would say you have covered 60% of the current market issues.
You are the inspiration of Youth of Nepal towards KZread. 🙏🏻🙂

I was in Nepal for about 5 months working from home butwal. Had 50 mbps connection but it was not reliable at all. MS teams calls kept dropping every other minute. File transfer was alao very slow when connected to office vpn in india. returned back to Pune India, my home airtel 40 mbps plan works flawlessly. Gives consistent 50mbps speed. 4k content on tv, multiple home devices connected and not a single call drop in MS teams. Nepal needs reliable 50 mbps internet connection and not 200 or 600 mbps connection.

Last khatraaaa yaar dai tapai ko video haru
finally video on demanded topic.
NTC ko fibernet is value for money to be honest... Bhaneko bandwith pani dincha....reliable pani cha.... 25mbps nrs 981.59 monthly ( phone plus internet package), with free NTC-NTC calls upto 200 minute in this package Fair usage policy: 30 GB/ day ( usually doesn't matter even if daily usage exceeds 30 GB) after which speed drops down to 5 mbps.... It might sound funny, but NTC's adsl was far more reliable overall even with just 8mbps speed for 2-3 average users.....
Only nepali youTube channel worth watching,that's why you've got less subscribers, however i love your videos man, keep 'em coming ✌✌best wishes for your channel
That's not all , You should also mention about the different frequency and the difference in speeds through ethernet and wifi. i mean you can be a 200mbps subscription but your 2.4ghz router will never provide that speed & not just in Nepal but in the whole world internet is measured and marketed in Mbps not MBps. High number of overlapping signal on same wifi channel, distance can disrupt the speeds by a lot. people need to understand the equipment and the technology behind it as well.
nice one...enjoyed the video.

You summed it up well : Sharing basis ma liyeko internet, kahile pani reliable hune chaina.
If you compare internet through fiber all over the world as shown in the video, Nepal has cheaper internet prices as compared to other Huge countries. But still people do find it expensive here as there various background cost which people are unaware of. There are multi core fibers which cost about Rs90 per meters that are initially placed to create a fiber network. These come through various server called OLTs and has a radius span of 20km. From them they still have to pull more multi core fibers whose rate maybe less than Rs 90 per meter. Then finally when a consumer is given a fiber connection through a single core fiber which costs around Rs 12 per meter and on average if in a crowded area they usually use upto 50 meters of fiber for a single customer and while on less crowded place (as per number of buildings) 100 meters is an average. Hence the cost is high per user. Also the pole tax which has recently increased by 6 times its previous value. And comes nagarpalikas who unannounced cut those multi core fibers and hence needs to be pulled right from the start. All these hidden costs is what makes internet prices go up. Oh also forgot about TSCs which is 13% of the advertised package. Now about internet speed and issues, the internet package for home users are usually on sharing basis and hence with increase in users there will be slow browsing issue. Also with ISPs from big to local all use router at the end of fiber to provide wireless connection, the frequency they are working on is the same. So imagine you singing a song solo on a stage in front of a crowd, your voice gets heard all over the room. Now imagine you singing one song and the entire room singing different songs at the same time. Which sound would you hear?? Noise.. So yes there is noise in Wireless connection to as they too are waves, hence cause of interference. Now, ISPs to reduce noise and interference have brought about a router that supports 5Ghz of frequency, not to be mistaken with 5G LTE network, which is a common misconception these days. So if people are well known as to how the internet works and what causes it to fluctuate they would understand that internet has its own problems and solutions too.

Pricing war is good for consumers. Until 2010, NTC had a huge monopoly with their ADSL literally everywhere outside Kathmandu because they owned the telephone wires and controlled end-to-end ADSL market (speed, pricing, artificial shortage of ADSL connections). The price in those days was around 1600/mo for 384Kbps. After Worldlink expanded their fiber optic market outside Kathmandu, only then did NTC reduce their ADSL cost and bumped up their ADSL speed to 2Mbps. They were also forced to offer fiber. Worldlink's service sucks when things go wrong but hey, at least they stirred the market outside Kathmandu for good and gave NTC a run for their money. Even if 200Mbps is shared 1:16 today, customers pay less compared to what they had to pay in 2010 for a measly 192Kbps. They also have options to move to another competitor. All-in-all good win for the consumers.
