Internet/ISP Is Nepal Telecom out of their mind? Up to Rs. 53,000/year for NT Fiber "Wi-Fi 6"?
Take a look at the official NT Fiber Wi-Fi 6 annual package pricing:
Individual Wi-Fi 6 Packages: NPR 14,499 to NPR 22,999 / year for standard 100 Mbps – 200 Mbps speeds.
Premium Wi-Fi 6 Packages: Scales up to an insane NPR 53,319 / year for 200 Mbps with Premium NTTV.
They are charging massive price hikes simply for upgrading the ONU router to Wi-Fi 6 while keeping the bandwidth at basic consumer tiers (100–200 Mbps). You can get far better speeds and hardware from private ISPs for a fraction of this cost.
To top off the absurd pricing, their "sweetened bonus" is 400 MB to 700 MB of mobile data.
Why are state-owned telecom enterprises so completely out of touch with realistic market pricing? Is this just pricing incompetence, or are they relying on government office budgets that don't care about costs?
What do you guys think? Is anyone actually subscribing to these?
