There are a very few areas that have continued to blossom during COVID19’s hard-hit economy and internet service can be one of them. Over the period of 10 months pandemic period, Nepal’s leading telco NTC (Nepal Telecom) has added more than 63 thousand new subscribers over fiber. Similarly, the leading ISP WorldLink follows Ntc to add nearly a similar number (63 thousand) new subscribers, NTA’s latest MIS report reveals.

Nepal went into nationwide lockdown on Chaitra 11 last year. Since then People were forced to confine within their domestic walls and online became the only way to work or utilize their forced leisure.

Both the companies have added over 63 thousand new subscribers in the period of 10 months from Baisakh to Magh. The data reveals that Nepal Telecom has the slight upper hand in fiber net service against WorldLink in terms of the numbers of new customers added.

It must be noted that Nepal telecom started its FTTH service only in 2019 meanwhile WorldLink has been a leading fiber net service provider in the country for much longer. Nepal telecom is currently replacing its dated ADSL that runs on copper wires with Fiber to improve their overall service.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
