Vianet’s Fair Usage Policy (FUP)

Like any other ISP in Nepal, Vianet subjects its customers to FUP so that they could provide a comfortable browsing experience to all during peak hours. It assesses the users’ internet consumption on 3 tiers and triggers its restrictions.

For a 12 Mbps package, a user may get a 450 GB allowance per month. If the user surpasses beyond 550, Vianet will activate its tier 1 restriction and throttle the speed to 8 Mbps. Then Vianet will apply tier 2 FUP if the user goes beyond 650 GB. This will slow down the internet at 4 Mbps. When the user gets even beyond 650 GB per month, the speed will be throttled down to 2 Mbps for the entire remaining period. You can learn more about Vianet’s FUP quota here for different packages at this link.

Our Verdict

Vianet has established itself as a major ISP in Nepal over the years. With Value-Added Services and improved internet packages, it is becoming another good alternative for the growing number of internet users in Nepal.

The ongoing speed war frenzy has also influenced Vianet and has launched its mega internet plan in the form of Ultra-fi. Besides, it has also improved bandwidth speed on its SoHo plan. As the ongoing internet upheaval intensifies, we might as well see Vianet offering even bigger and better fiber broadband packages.
