Home internet in Nepal has changed a lot in the last few years. Plans that once offered 25 Mbps now start at 200 Mbps, WiFi 6 routers are becoming common, and some ISPs sell 1 Gbps and even 2 Gbps plans. With so many offers, choosing the best internet package in Nepal can feel confusing.
This guide compares the major ISPs, their 2026 package prices, installation costs, fair usage policies, and practical tips so you can pick the right connection for your home, study, or small business.
Note: ISP prices and offers change frequently, especially during festivals and anniversaries. The figures below are based on published package details reported through August 2026. Confirm with the ISP before paying.

Vianet Internet Packages 2026
Vianet has been in the market since 1999 and is known for aggressive pricing and WiFi 6 upgrades.
Vianet Ultra-fi Plans

ViaTV costs Rs 250 per month.
Nepal Telecom and Other ISPs
Ntc FTTH is a good option in areas where private ISPs have weak coverage. Ntc also offers Namaste WiFi, a wireless broadband service using a 4G LTE router, which can help in places without fiber.
DishHome Fibernet is popular among households that want TV and internet from the same provider, and it has launched a “Service on Door” facility in selected areas.
Because plan prices for these providers vary by location and bundle, request a quote from the nearest branch and compare the annual total.
Price Comparison: 200 to 300 Mbps Annual Plans
| ISP and Plan | Speed | Annual Price |
| Vianet Ultra-fi (no TV) | 200 Mbps | Rs 11,988 |
| WorldLink Residential | 200 Mbps | Rs 12,600 plus VAT |
| WorldLink Residential | 250 Mbps | Rs 13,800 plus VAT |
| Vianet Pro WiFi 6 | 250 Mbps | Rs 13,800 including VAT |
| WorldLink Residential | 300 Mbps | Rs 15,600 plus VAT |
| Vianet Ultra WiFi 6 | 400 Mbps | Rs 15,600 including VAT |
Always compare prices on the same tax basis. A plan listed “plus VAT” will cost 13 percent more than the headline number.
Hidden Costs to Ask About
| Cost Item | What to Check |
| Router rental or deposit | Is it refundable? Is it WiFi 6? |
| Drop wire or fiber cable | Often charged on monthly plans, free on annual plans |
| Installation charge | Frequently waived on 12-month plans |
| TV set-top box | Activation fee and monthly channel charge |
| Mesh node | Extra rental, deposit, and installation |
| VAT | Included or excluded in advertised price |
Understanding Fair Usage Policy (FUP)
Most ISPs in Nepal use a dynamic FUP. If you use extremely high bandwidth daily, such as constant large downloads or torrents, your speed may be reduced temporarily. WorldLink users can check FUP status in the myWorldLink app, where green means normal usage and yellow means you are near the limit. Normal users who browse, stream, and attend online classes rarely hit FUP.
How to Choose the Right Internet Package
| Household Type | Suggested Speed | Why |
| 1 to 2 people, browsing and video | 200 Mbps | More than enough for HD streaming |
| Family of 4 to 5 with online classes | 250 to 300 Mbps | Handles multiple devices at once |
| Gamers and streamers | 300 Mbps plus WiFi 6 | Lower latency matters more than raw speed |
| Home office or creators uploading video | 400 to 600 Mbps | Faster uploads and many devices |
| Small business or heavy users | 1 Gbps or SME plan | Stable performance for teams |
Before signing up:
- Ask neighbours which ISP works best in your building or tole.
- Choose an annual plan to save on installation and router costs.
- Ask for a WiFi 6 router if your phones and laptops support it.
- Check customer support hours and repair times.
- Read the FUP and refund terms.

Fiber vs Mobile Data vs Satellite
| Option | Best For | Limitation |
| Fiber broadband | Homes and offices | Needs cable access |
| Mobile data packs | On the go | Costs more per GB |
| Satellite (Starlink) | Remote areas | Not yet licensed in Nepal |
If you mostly use internet outside home, compare mobile options in our Ntc vs Ncell data pack comparison. Curious about satellite internet? Read our update on Starlink in Nepal. You can also track future mobile speeds in our 5G in Nepal status report.
Business and Home Office Plans
If you run a shop, clinic, or small office, residential plans may not be enough. WorldLink’s SME+ plans, for example, range from 50 Mbps at Rs 2,000 per month to 150 Mbps at Rs 6,500 per month, with services such as Safenet and WiFi Express. Business plans usually prioritise uptime and support rather than just speed. In September 2026, WorldLink also launched Biz24, which it describes as Nepal’s first managed WiFi solution for businesses.
Conclusion
For most homes, a 200 to 300 Mbps annual fiber plan offers the best balance of price and performance in 2026. WorldLink leads in coverage and extras, Vianet leads on price and WiFi 6 value, and Ntc or DishHome can be better where their networks are stronger. Compare total annual cost including VAT and devices, and confirm current offers before signing.
