Worldlink Internet Packages, All The Offers, and Price

Worldlink has been a key player in promoting connectivity in Nepal. Offering a reliable internet connection with an additional TV package has distinguished it from other ISPs in Nepal. Especially in cities, Worldink has become a household name because of its consistent internet and TV offering plus many extra features. Let’s find out the Worldlink Internet & TV packages, offers, FUP limit, and Price below.

Before the internet service boom, Nepalese were dependent on Nepal Telecom’s Dial-Up technology. It offered an offensive speed of 56 kbit/s on a shared scheme, but now the scenario has changed for good. Many private ISPs have entered the market and thus the customers have benefited from the healthy competition.

Over a series of many posts, we will be detailing the major ISPs in Nepal, their packages, as well as costs. These posts will offer a glimpse into one of the leading ISP, Worldlink, and the nature of their services, offers, and costs. It will also be helpful to the readers to figure out whether to choose Worldlink internet service based on the packages and offers it provides at the price mentioned below.

Worldlink Communications Ltd.

Established in 1995 Ad till date, WordLink has continuously thrived over the two decades. It is safe to say that Worldlink holds the widest clout. While most Nepalese were reluctantly using stagnant ADSL or Ncell’s exorbitantly costly data, Worldlink provided a greater escape. Since the very beginning, it has remained one of the top three telecommunication service providers in Nepal.

Worldlink’s infrastructural apparatus, commendable customer service, and emphasis on continuous improvement of its services have made it the go-to ISP in Nepal for years now. Check out the Internet history of Nepal.

Offering unlimited internet with a capacity for gaming was one of the legacy WordLink established.

Apart from 1Gbps and 600 Mbps Photon, WorldLink also announced to upgrade the existing users from 150 Mbps to 200 Mbps.

Photon Lite: 300/225/200 Mbps

WorldLink’s predecessor to Photon 600, now titled Photon 300 Lite brings three internet packages – 300/250/200 Mbps. Likewise, these packages come with NetTV for your complete home entertainment solution. Whether you are a moderate or heavy user, this should do well for you.

What is FUP and Why it Matters?

The infamous Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is implemented by all the private ISPs in Nepal. Basically what it does is restrict users from incessantly consuming more bandwidth than an average user. The ISPs justify this as a measure to provide a consistent performance 24*7.

The idea is when a user consumes too much bandwidth, the other user’s browsing experience is affected. Although customers may argue otherwise about a dedicated service, this has been a norm for years in Nepal. If you have felt a lag in internet speed around 6 to 9 or beyond, it is FUP throttling your speed to maintain uniform service for all during peak hours.

How to Check for FUP Limit in Worldlink?

It is necessary to keep track of your internet usage. Worldlink just like any other ISP may contact, warn or completely throttle your connection upon extreme use. So to facilitate users to check on their FUP status, Worldlink has its own app.

Download the app on your mobile phone, log in with your assigned id and password. Then scroll below, you will see the FUP count. If the color is green, you are consuming bandwidth within the limit, and you are fine. But if you have exceeded the daily usage limit, it will turn yellow, and you should be on alert.

A normal user would never have to come across FUP as they mostly surf Facebook, surf some YouTube videos, and google some pages and visit sites. But those who are heavy internet users, who share large videos on the internet, use torrents regularly, they may experience some restrictions someday.

Worldlink has set a daily usage limit on users before FUP strikes in. If you are still on a 20 Mbps connection daily usage limit is 25 GB and for a 30 – 40 Mbps, subscription 35 GB bandwidth is allowed. If you exceed this limit then FUP will come into effect, and you will experience a throttle in internet speed.

Our Verdict

WorldLink has been the leader in the Nepali ISP market since its operation. With the internet speed war in full swing, the company has done its best to respond with a befitting counter to other ISPs. Its Photon 600 is Nepal’s fastest ever to date. Meanwhile, it also takes credit for launching Nepal’s first-ever Mesh Router system.  

WorldLink has expanded to 77 districts and aspires to contribute to Digital Nepal Framework. The ISP has also acquired a 40% stake in Khalti, Nepal’s prominent digital wallet to take its services far and wide in the country. Credit where it’s due. WorldLink knows how to gain momentum and seize the opportunity. It has acted with tenacity and fortitude in the ISP market and continues to make long strides despite all the odds.
