Namaste WiFi is the service name of Nepal Telecom (Ntc) for its 4 G-based wireless internet solution. It now offers unlimited internet and unlimited Internet & voice packages. Also, the package now comes with a brand new 4G wireless router (CPE device) for free. The 4G router service was not available for some time due to unavailable stock but the service has been restocked now. Find out the packages and prices in detail below.
The company launched the wireless 4G-based WiFi service in early 2022 for areas where its FTTH (fiber) service is not available. It is popular in remote or unchartered areas in Nepal where fixed-line internet is not available. To make it more accessible, the government-backed telco has brought unlimited packages and started offering its own router. Before this, subscribers would have had to buy a router from the market. With the package, you get a free SIM card and a dual-band router with battery backup.
After the revision, the wireless internet service based on 4G became very popular due to its wide availability and better 4G speed. Soon, the service got stocked out with such popularity. After some time, the Ntc’s 4G wireless internet (Namaste Wifi) service is restocked. Select the package that suits you, as described below, and get it for your home.
Namaste WiFi brings high-speed unlimited internet and voice service. If you need internet plus phone service in your home/office where there is no other means of fixed telephone, you can get unlimited internet with a voice package. Otherwise, you can just buy the unlimited internet-only pack.
