The above amount includes first time activation charges plus Rs. 2000 worth of data value.
- Customers are charged 25 paise /100 KB of data usage.
But as a promotional offer until Chaitra this has been further lowered down to a minimal 15 paisa/100 KB.
- Its a Data only service. No Voice.
- Customers are required to purchase compatible EVDO modems(USB based) .
UPDATE : Nepal Telecom has cancelled the launch of ‘2.4 Mbps EV-DO’ mobile internet service. The service will be launched in the near future hopefully by next year or until the NGN upgrade is over. Similarly, increase in ADSL speeds and decrease in tariff rates will be possible after this upgrade.
Nepalese fixed line and mobile incumbent Nepal Telecom (NT) is readying the launch of a new wireless internet service capable of delivering data transfer speeds of up to 2Mbps.
The new service will use the operator’s CDMA2000 1xEV-DO network and will be available in Kathmandu Valley in the launch phase.
NT says it is currently using Packet Date Serving Node (PDSN) technology to deliver its 1xEV-DO service, adding that currently more than 10,000 people have subscribed to the service which can be accessed using USB modems.
Nepal Doorsanchar Nigam Limited (Nepal Telecom, or NT) has announced it is upgrading its PSTN to a fibre-optic next generation network (NGN), enabling customers to benefit from an array of advanced high speed data services such as IPTV and broadband internet access. The operator has already completed a feasibility study for the project and will soon launch a public tender for network equipment.
NT director Amar Nath Singh is quoted as saying that his company will ‘then begin installation work simultaneously in all 73 districts where the fixed line network has been laid.’NT is currently relying on its PSTN network to provide voice service, but intends to deploy optical fibre cabling to increase bandwidth and reduce the burden on its existing copper wire network. In addition, the telco intends to install new remote switching units to reduce the instances of network congestion. Remote switching units link customers’ telephone lines with the service providers’ network. The incumbent however, stopped short of providing a deadline for the completion of the upgrade and has yet to finalise any tariffs for the new service.
NT considering 4G rollout
Nepal Telecom (NT) is considering a plan to roll out a so-called ‘fourth-generation’ (4G) network in the country to provide faster and more readily available seamless access to internet services. The telco is conducting a feasibliity study concerning the initiative with Lok Raj Sharma, the head of NT’s IT department, saying: ‘We will get a comprehensive report within two months and decide on whether to float a public tender notice and invite interested parties to submit bid documents, or to roll out the next generation network by ourselves.’

one movie = 800 MB
Rate: 15 paisa/100 KB
800 MB = 800 * 1000 = 8,00,000 KB
Unitary method
100KB = 15 paisa
8, 00, 000 KB = 15 * 8000 paisa = 120000 paise = 1200 Rs /night/movie
I can download two movies/night(at least) with Worldlink 350kbps Night Surfing Plan which costs around Rs.6000 for 6 months. So what’s the fuzz about this evdo?
most of technology are aviable only inside valley.
very slowly it will came some part outside valley.
people only talk and plan but nobody care about remote area.
i havent use evdo but i think the price
100kb=25paisa thats worthless
for me under 1000rs monthely unlimeted is good..
but for now …..
india gprs…..20rs=24hrs unlimeted
1oors=115hr data free….highspeed netconnect
512kbps=500rs unlimeted monthly
this time this scheme is good one for me
My friend referred me to your blog, so I thought I’d come have a read. Very interesting material, will be back for more!
Yeah, great information you write it very clean. I am very lucky to get this tips from you.
evdo is quite good at its speed but the only thing is its cost..lastttaii expensive bhayena..need to give unlimited service at certain sum of money..plz..i m lovin it 2 use but hatttin its rates………..
Garib janata ajhai lutne meso.15 paisa=100kb,it’s really expensive,can’t afford it.2000 rs=1gb data value
same old wine in new attractive bottle.To be honest naya bahana ma dherai gath kumlaune sur.
young generation le badhi bhanda badhi net surffing garna chahancha. So 25paisa/100kb is expensive i think if nepal telecom launch the unlimited facility in CDMA internet, then sabaile yeslai prayog garchan. Ra aru isp haruko halat kharab huncha.
NT- EVDO:- As per speed it’s mind blowing. As per cost, nothing economical. Darai Darai chalaunu parcha. I don’t like to use net fearfully. Mero thuprai sathi haru Bangladesh ma chan ra tyaha, similiar as EVDO service ma 350 taka ma 1GB ra 750 taka ma 3GB/m. Yestai rate bhaye pani kehi rahat hunthyo. Ki kaso sathi haru ho?
