CG Internet has started offering double speed internet at half the market price and a new wave has emerged in Nepal’s internet market. With the entry of CG Net, internet service providers are seen in a bid to increase speed and reduce prices.
In the last few months, there has been talk of CG Net coming to the market at a cheaper price. At the same time, internet service providers started releasing one after another attractive packages.
Internet Service Competition before CGNet
WorldLink has launched a cheap internet package including IPTV at Rs 799. Soon after, Classic Tech gave it a counter and launched an IP TV with 20 Mbps internet at Rs 799. Similarly, for the first time in Nepal, Vianet has announced an offer of 100 Mbps speed internet (annual package with three ViaTVs at Rs. 21,600).
They increased the 60 Mbps package to 100 Mbps at the same price. To counter that, Classic Tech announced a similar package available at Rs 1,800.
Entry of CGNet in Nepal’s Internet Service market
CG, which has been making a name for itself in the market, has taken a step forward by bringing 120 Mbps speed internet with additional speed at half the current price. With the entry of CG, the internet market has taken a new direction.
Now service providers are seen competing to offer higher speeds at lower prices instead of low speed internet at cheaper prices. For customers using DishHome TV at Rs 600 per month, DishHome has offered 10 Mbps internet for free and is offering 30 Mbps internet at Rs 233 per month.
Not only that, DishHome Fiber Net has now announced to bring 200 Mbps speed internet. The company has stated that the package will be attractive even in terms of price.
Nepal Telecom’s Offer
Recently, the government-owned telecom company Nepal Telecom has also entered into competition among internet service providers. The company, which is providing IPTV and telephone services along with internet on fiber, has also started providing mobile data for free.
The company has just said that it will provide 300 MB of mobile data for free to FTTH internet users above 20 Mbps.
