NTC Internet Packages Nepal 2026: Full Price Guide

Nepal Telecom — NTC — remains the country's most widely available internet provider, running copper lines into rural wards where private ISPs have never laid a single fibre strand. But the company is no longer just the fallback option for customers with no alternative. In 2026, its FTTH (Fibre to the Home) network reaches most urban and semi-urban areas, its 4G data pack rates are competitive with Ncell, and its new Namaste WiFi service offers plug-and-play broadband without trench work. Whether you are a household in Kathmandu looking to cut your ISP bill, a student comparing yearly subscriptions, or a business weighing dedicated connections, this guide walks through every current NTC internet package, what each one actually costs in NPR, and how to get the most out of your subscription.

NTC FTTH Fiber Internet Packages 2026

FTTH is NTC's flagship broadband product. Speeds start at 25 Mbps and go up to 200 Mbps on symmetrical fibre. Installation requires a one-time connection fee and a CPE (optical network terminal) device. Once the line is in, subscribers choose from three billing tiers: monthly, quarterly (3-month), or annual. Longer commitments come with meaningful discounts — the annual rate works out noticeably cheaper per month than paying month-to-month.

Internet-Only (Premium) Plans

These are standalone internet subscriptions with no bundled TV or telephone. NTC currently offers three speeds under its Premium Internet category on FTTH:

Speed	Monthly (NPR)	Quarterly (NPR)	Annual (NPR)
100 Mbps	5,900	~16,500	~59,000 (est.)
150 Mbps	7,500	~21,000	~75,000 (est.)
200 Mbps	9,600	~27,000	~96,000 (est.)

For most households, the 100 Mbps plan is the practical sweet spot — fast enough for 4K streaming, video calls, and multiple simultaneous users without paying for headroom you will rarely use.

Annual Fiber Packages — Better Value

NTC's annual (yearly) FTTH packages offer the strongest value per month and come with bonus perks. The flagship annual plan for 50 Mbps unlimited internet is priced at Rs 7,499 per year for existing landline/fiber phone customers. New connections without a bundled phone line start at slightly higher rates.

NTC also runs a dedicated NT Fiber Vidhyarthi Offer (Student Package) at Rs 4,999 per year for a 50 Mbps connection, aimed at school and college students. Verification through an institution ID is required at the time of subscription.

A two-year internet-only package (50 Mbps to 200 Mbps) is available at a 15% discount over regular annual rates, costing between Rs 14,999 and Rs 28,399 for the full two-year period. This is worth considering if you own the premises and do not plan to move.

Triple Play — Internet + TV + Phone

NTC bundles internet, IPTV (NTC television), and a landline telephone into its Triple Play package. The 50 Mbps Triple Play subscription starts at Rs 10,499 per year and includes a free CPE and set-top box — which can offset the cost of buying a separate streaming device.

Free Mobile Data Bonus on Fiber

Since early 2026, NTC has included a daily free mobile data bonus for subscribers who take any annual FTTH plan of 50 Mbps or above. Eligible customers receive up to 1 GB of free 4G mobile data per day on a linked NTC SIM, credited daily for the duration of the subscription. This makes the annual fiber deal significantly more attractive for households where members use NTC SIM cards.

NTC ADSL Packages

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is NTC's legacy copper broadband service, still active in areas where FTTH has not yet reached. Speeds are capped at 5 Mbps due to the physical limits of the copper infrastructure. NTC offers monthly and quarterly ADSL packages, subscribed through NTC counters in serviceable areas. Given that FTTH is available in most towns where ADSL runs, ADSL is increasingly a last-resort option for remote locations — the official tariff page at ntc.net.np/tariff/adsl-tariff carries the current pricing, which changes less frequently than fiber packages. If FTTH is available in your area, it is almost always worth switching.

NTC Namaste WiFi — 4G Wireless Broadband

Not every home can get a fibre line quickly. For locations where FTTH installation is pending or not yet available, NTC offers Namaste WiFi: a 4G LTE-based home broadband service that ships with a free CPE router. No trenching, no waiting for a fibre team — the device plugs in and connects over NTC's 4G network.

Plan	Speed	Half-Yearly (New, NPR)	Annual (New, NPR)	Annual (Renewal, NPR)
Unlimited Basic	5 Mbps	5,999	10,499	9,499
Unlimited Premium	10 Mbps	8,999	16,499	~15,499
Unlimited Basic + Voice	5 Mbps + VoLTE	7,499	13,499	~12,499
Unlimited Premium + Voice	10 Mbps + VoLTE	~10,999	19,499	~18,499

The Voice add-on enables VoLTE calling through the router, effectively giving you a home phone line without a separate landline subscription. Namaste WiFi works in any area with NTC 4G coverage — check coverage at ntc.net.np before subscribing.

NTC Mobile Data Packs 2026

NTC's mobile data packs work on both prepaid and postpaid SIM cards. They are purchased separately from your main balance (or billed on postpaid) and run on NTC's 4G network. The default pay-as-you-go data rate without any pack is Rs 1 per MB — expensive, and a good reason to always keep an active data pack.

Data Volume	Validity	Price (NPR)	Effective Rate
1 GB	1 day	29	Rs 29/GB
5 GB	7 days	109	Rs 21.8/GB
20 GB	30 days	399	Rs 19.95/GB
100 GB	30 days	999	Rs 9.99/GB

For regular users, the 100 GB / Rs 999 monthly pack is by far the best value — under Rs 10 per GB. NTC also offers unlimited mobile plans from around Rs 699 that bundle unlimited all-network calls, a data allocation, and SMS.

How to Activate an NTC Data Pack

1. Dial *1415# and follow the on-screen menu to browse and activate available packs.
2. Alternatively, open the Nepal Telecom official app (available on Android and iOS), go to "Buy Packages," and complete activation in two taps.
3. On postpaid, visit ntc.net.np/buy/packages and log in with your account number to add a pack to your bill.
4. To enable 4G on a prepaid SIM for the first time, dial *444# → select 1.

How to Check Your Remaining NTC Data Balance

Three reliable methods exist, and all are free to use:

• USSD (mobile data balance): Dial *1415*55# — a message appears showing remaining data volume and pack expiry date.
• SMS: Send "VL" to 1415 — you will receive an SMS with remaining balance and expiry.
• Main account balance: Dial *400# to check your talktime/main balance.
• Nepal Telecom App: Remaining data, pack expiry, and account balance are displayed on the home screen after login.

For FTTH broadband subscribers, remaining monthly data (if on a capped plan) can be checked by logging into the NTC self-care portal at selfcare.ntc.net.np using your registered account credentials.

NTC vs Private ISPs — A Quick Comparison

NTC's biggest advantage is reach. Its network extends to district headquarters and many rural municipalities that no private ISP services. On price, NTC fiber is broadly comparable to WorldLink, Subisu, and Vianet in urban areas — sometimes slightly higher at lower speeds, sometimes lower for annual bundles. Where NTC trails private ISPs is in installation speed (queue times can stretch weeks in peak periods) and customer support responsiveness. For businesses requiring SLA-backed uptime guarantees, NTC offers dedicated leased-line products separately from the retail packages described here. The retail FTTH plans described above are residential-grade services with best-effort traffic management.

NTC WiFi 6 Packages Nepal 2026 — Higher Speed, Better Hardware

NTC's WiFi 6 tier is a premium offering that pairs your fiber connection with a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) router, replacing the standard WiFi 5 router included with entry-level FTTH plans. WiFi 6 supports more simultaneous connected devices without noticeable slowdown — making it a practical choice for households running 10 or more devices at once (smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, IoT devices, and security cameras).

The following annual prices apply to NTC WiFi 6 plans as of 2026. Paying annually is the recommended approach since NTC does not currently publish standalone monthly WiFi 6 rates; the monthly equivalent figures below are derived by dividing the annual price by 12.

Speed	Annual Price (NPR)	Monthly Equivalent (NPR)
100 Mbps WiFi 6	14,499	1,208
200 Mbps WiFi 6	24,999	2,083
300 Mbps WiFi 6	32,499	2,708
500 Mbps WiFi 6	42,999	3,583
1 Gbps WiFi 6	53,319	4,443

WiFi 6 plans include the router as part of the package. Standard NTC FTTH plans, by contrast, require you to supply your own router or arrange a separate router rental from NTC.

To subscribe to a WiFi 6 plan, visit the NTC customer service centre nearest to you or call 1600. NTC staff will confirm availability in your area and arrange the hardware swap or new installation as needed.

NTC FUP (Fair Usage Policy) — Daily Data Caps and What Happens When You Exceed Them

NTC's fiber internet plans are subject to a daily Fair Usage Policy (FUP). Once your usage crosses the daily data cap at your subscribed speed, your connection is throttled to a lower speed for the remainder of that calendar day. The FUP resets at midnight — 12:00 AM Nepal Standard Time (NST) — so full speed is restored at the start of each new day.

The table below shows the daily FUP caps and the throttled speeds that apply to each plan tier.

Plan Speed	Daily FUP Cap	Speed After FUP Exceeded
25 Mbps	40 GB / day	5 Mbps
50 Mbps	80 GB / day	5 Mbps
100 Mbps	150 GB / day	10 Mbps
200 Mbps	250 GB / day	10 Mbps
300 Mbps and above	Unlimited	No throttle

Plans at 300 Mbps and above are classified as unlimited plans and carry no daily FUP cap.

How to Check Your Daily Data Usage

There are two straightforward ways to confirm whether your connection has been throttled or to monitor remaining daily quota:

• NTC customer portal: Log in to ntconline.com.np. The dashboard displays your current day's data consumption alongside the FUP threshold for your plan.
• SMS check: Send the message FTTH DATA to 1600 from your registered NTC mobile number. You will receive an SMS reply showing your remaining daily quota.

Practical Tip: Schedule Heavy Downloads for Late Night

If your household regularly hits the daily FUP cap, consider scheduling large downloads — operating system updates, game patches, and video file downloads — between midnight and 6:00 AM. Traffic on NTC's network is at its lowest during these hours, and the FUP counter has just reset, giving you the full daily allowance at full speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get NTC fiber internet without a landline phone?

Yes. NTC's FTTH Premium Internet plans are internet-only and do not require a bundled landline. You only need the telephone if you opt for the Triple Play bundle or the Namaste WiFi Voice add-on. The pure internet-only annual plans (including the student Rs 4,999 offer) have no phone component.

What is the difference between NTC FTTH and Namaste WiFi?

FTTH (Fibre to the Home) uses a physical optical fibre cable running from the nearest exchange to your premises. It offers higher speeds (up to 200 Mbps) and more stable latency. Namaste WiFi is a 4G LTE wireless service that uses NTC's mobile network and a CPE router — no cable installation required, but speeds are capped at 10 Mbps and can be affected by local network congestion. FTTH is the better long-term choice where available; Namaste WiFi works where fibre has not yet reached.

How do I recharge my NTC SIM for a data pack?

First, top up your main balance using an NTC recharge card (available at any NTC counter, convenience shop, or through eSewa / Khalti / IME Pay digital wallets). Once the balance is loaded, dial *1415# and navigate the menu to select and activate your chosen data pack. The pack amount is deducted immediately from your main balance. No separate recharge process is needed for data packs beyond having sufficient main balance.

Does NTC offer 5G in Nepal?

As of mid-2026, NTC has not commercially launched 5G services in Nepal. The operator continues to expand and strengthen its 4G LTE network, including in areas that previously had limited 3G coverage. 5G trial deployments have been discussed in government and industry forums, but no commercial rollout date has been confirmed publicly for this year.

Can I carry unused data to the next month?

NTC mobile data packs do not roll over — unused data expires at the end of the pack's validity period (1 day, 7 days, or 30 days depending on the pack). Plan your data usage accordingly: if you regularly have large amounts left over each month, consider dropping to the next pack size, or use the extra data for streaming and downloads before the expiry date. FTTH monthly plans also do not carry forward unused bandwidth to the following billing cycle.
