Nepal Telecommunications Authority says internet service charges have not increased and warns providers against unauthorized price hikes, excess billing and practices that harm consumers.

Nepal Telecom launched 4G services at Badimalika in Bajura, extending reliable connectivity to the 4,200-metre religious tourism area for residents, pilgrims, tourists and organisations from Monday.

Nepal Telecom will continue its affordable internet packages despite private ISPs ending low-cost plans, while expanding fiber services and introducing a virtual set-top box.

NTA will recover Rs 8.05 billion from UTL after its licence was cancelled, while renewing five ISP licences, approving its 2026/27 budget and directing Ncell on asset handover.

Nepal Telecom brought new 2G and 4G mobile sites into operation at 13 locations across 11 districts in August to expand network coverage and improve mobile and data connectivity.
