Dish Home offers an exhaustive list of fiber internet packages at affordable prices. From 2-digit to 3-digit speed plans, you can find various internet services to suit your needs. In this post, you will find all the packages with their price along with other services the private ISP provides. Keep reading for depth information about the company’s services.
Dish Home was launched in 2009 being Nepal’s first Direct-to-Home (DTH) Service Provider. Later the company faced tough competition in urban areas but managed to sustain itself as it had gained wide coverage in rural areas where cable TV had not reached. But the company turned its focus to fiber broadband and began the Fibernet service in 2020. While the service started with Kathmandu Valley at the beginning, the company has already expanded its Fibernet service across all major cities across the country through Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology.
Likewise, Dish Home has also entered the price war and launched a premium fiber internet plan. This elevates the company’s status as among the major ISPs already leapfrogging many ISPs already in 2 years of expansion. As a matter of fact, the company recently celebrated reaching 1 lakh internet users, a tremendous feat for a fresh and ambitious ISP.
Coming to the talk of its services, Dish Home has teased the launch of satellite service in the past. But as the fiber service contest peaked in recent months, it seems the company has kept that plan on hold. But in case it does start the service, the company will use it to cover rural areas. Let’s know more about Dish Home Fiber Internet Packages and their Price in Nepal. But before a briefing about FTTH and VSAT internet service.
Why FTTH and VSAT Technology?
Dish Home has invested NRS. 30 Crores in this project because all these technologies don’t come cheap. In urban areas, Fiber-optic cables can do the work because cities are overwhelmed with everything it needs. But what about rural areas where there is less population, no poles, and less development? Covering rural areas with Fiber-optic cables will take ages and the difficult terrain in a country like ours puts a lot of burdens. So the solution will be using satellites for higher reachability.
The company will be the first ISP to provide internet through VSAT technology in Nepal if they pull this off. VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal, a satellite-based communication system. In this system, the user will send and receive signal information from a satellite. It is more expensive than Cable TV but reaches places with no cables whatsoever.
Nepal doesn’t have a satellite of its own for this purpose, except for the Nanosatellite called NepaliSat-1. So, Dish Home is using a satellite from an Israeli Satellite Company named ‘Spacecom’. ‘Amos’ satellite is used for transmitting the TV channel and the company is planning to use the “Amos-4” satellite for the internet.

Internet option for rural areas
With VSAT technology, Dish Home will be providing internet to all the rural areas where no other internet option is viable. So, it seems that the company was targeting rural areas from the start. However, to attract the local people in rural areas, they will have to make their internet package cheaper. Or else their internet will be only used in governmental offices or in company branches.
For such remote areas, only wireless/cellular broadband was considered to be feasible. We suggest you check out: Ncell Wirefree Plus WiFi Internet service and Nepal Telecom’s 4G Wireless Home broadband Service.
We hope the company does fulfill the needs of communication and accessibility of people living in rural areas. If they could realize their plan, it will be a better situation for our country, for the businesses, for the people, and for the development.
