Nepal Telecom (NTC) has completely replaced its wireline services with fiber technology in Far West (Sudurpaschim) Province. The transformation has become complete after the company’s provincial directorate, Attariya, converted its services to fiber in all the districts under its jurisdiction. The company says that now, customers under the directorate can get quality voice, data, and IPTV services via a single fiber cable.
During a program on 21 Magh 2082, Dravendra Kumar Chaudhary, Director of the Provincial Directorate Attariya, Far Western Province, announced that the entire Far Western Province has become a copper-free province by shutting down the Gaddachauki Exchange in Kanchanpur district. On the occasion, Director Chaudhary called it a milestone as NT continues to provide copper-free services across the country.
The complete fiber conversion in the Far West comes as fiber expansion takes further pace. It’s also worth knowing that NT FTTH is already available in 77 districts and only leaves some local levels out of FTTH penetration.

In the past, NT provided voice and data services in 68 places under the Far West province by expanding the network. However, now, the company has replaced the old technology with fiber. Now, customers can subscribe to fiber services which deliver far more reliable and faster internet services as well as NT TV, and telephone.
The company had already converted to fiber services in the hilly districts of Bajura, Achham, Darchula, Baitadi, Dadeldhura, Bajhang, and Doti. Now, copper-based services have been replaced with fiber in Kailali of the Terai region. This happened in the first month (Shrawan) of FY 2082/83.
NTC is providing its FTTH services in almost all parts of the country, replacing copper technology. The company provides the service under the brand name NT Fiber. IT brings HD voice, high-speed internet, and IPTV services through a single optical fiber cable. The range of packages, affordability, and diverse service range have made it very popular among the customers. As of NTA, the company has over 3.43 lakh fiber users across Nepal.
