Vianet Nepal Internet Packages, Offers for Residential
Ultra-fi Packages | 200/250/300 Mbps speed
Vianet has upgraded its basic internet speed from 120 Mbps to 200 Mbps. Now, the customers have the option to choose from 200/250/300 Mbps plans.
To start with, if you choose the basic 200 Mbps plan, it costs Rs 1,300 for a month, Rs 3,450 for three months, and Rs 11,988 for twelve months. Then if your internet requirement is slightly higher, you can go for the 250 Mbps package which costs Rs 1,450 for a month, Rs 3,900 for three months, and Rs 13,800 for twelve months.
The premium Vianet Ultra-Fi 300 Mbps plan costs Rs 1,600 on monthly renewal, Rs 4,350 for three months, and the twelve months subscription sets you back Rs 15,600. Depending on your requirements, you can choose either of the packages. But we believe the basic 200 Mbps plan is a good-to-go choice for most residential users for a family. If the internet is for a large family, or tenants for shared usage, the 250 Mbps or the 300 Mbps plans are a good choice.

Vianet 2 Gbps Internet Package with XGS-PON technology
The private ISP Vianet launched Nepal’s first-ever 2 Gbps internet package backed by the XGS-PON technology. The company introduced the package for users who are in need of extremely fast internet speeds. It says the revolutionary package will set a new standard in Nepal’s internet industry.
The 2 Gbps package is currently available in select areas inside Kathmandu but the private ISP says it will soon expand the package through the city.
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 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 to 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

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.
