Huge Data rates cut in NT Data services.

Nepal Telecom has published new tariff for all of its data services (Dial-up, ISDN, ADSL, WiMAX, GPRS and CDMA EVDO). Marking the day of World Telecommunication and Information society day on Jestha 3, 2070 (May 17, 2013), NT will implement the hugely cut tariff for the data services.

Unlimited Internet in NT WiMAX.

With the new data packages, NT will also be starting the Unlimited internet in their WiMAX service- the latest technology for the data services. Launched some months a ago for individual users, WiMAX had not quite picked up the data market which was previously assumed to grab hugely, mostly due to the limited package only. Now listening to the public demand for unlimited internet in WiMAX, NT comes up with such plan and it seems like this plan will get popular among Internet hungry customers.Two unlimited packages in WiMAX will be available for now- 256 Kbps and 2 Mbps of which 2 Mbps will only be provided to corporate offices only. 256 kbps WiMAX costs Rs 1500 and there will be additional 30 percent discount for the first three month and 2 Mbps costs Rs 9,300.

Other packages are 

• unlimited dial-up package for Rs 200/month with Rs 100 per month for night surfing only. 
• Unlimited Package: 64 kbps = Rs. 200/month, 128 kbps = Rs. 400/ month
• 40 percent data volume bonus to ADSL and WiMAX volume packages with the purchase of 3 months package of above.
• 50 paisa per 1 MB data package in CDMA EVDO.
• 3G/EVDO Volume based packages are:

                Data Volume               Tariff (Rs)              Validity Period.

                   25 MB                         11                           1 day 

                300 MB                        130                         15 days 

                500 MB                        200                           1 month 

                    2 GB                         760                           1 month 

                    5 GB                      1,700                           1 month 

                  10 GB                      2,400                           1 month 

With the above tariff rates, NT intends to give wide range of data packages for different kinds of services and it seems like this latest tariff (fulfilling the customer real demand) will increase the data usage of NT Internet services.
