It is really difficult to select a good ISP when there are quite a few available in the market. It is important to select accordingly to ones need, locality and money.

Unlimited Bandwidth: In this form of connection, your usage is not capped; you can download as much as you want. This is ideal in family scenarios with several active members consuming high amount of data.

Volume Based: Usually, volume based internet give you a very high-speed internet but is capped to a certain package of certain value. Eg 80 GB a month. In volume based connections, the first 80GBs will have a significant high bandwidth usually between 3 - 15 Mbps. Upon consuming that pack, you will still have an internet connection but at a meager fallback speed. This is recommended to users who can stay under the limit.

Fallback Speed:  The reduced surfing speed that you are switched to once you have consumed your offered volume. The bandwidth usually range between 256 - 640 Kbps depending upon ISPs

Ways you can bring a connection at your home

Fiber: Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is a wired connection which relays data from the nearest junction to your household via an optical fiber cable. Being low energy devices, Fiber optics don’t easily succumb to the wrath of loadshedding. The system however is slightly pricey.

Cable: We are all familiar with the coaxial cable that delivered cable TV when it set foot. Yes, we’re talking about the same cables with only one thick copper wire in the center. They’ve been known to be common carriers for cable TV, internet or even both.

Wireless: In certain cases, wired connections aren’t possible. For example, in newer settlements where physical infrastructure have yet to be laid out. If there is no point waiting, wireless internet could come in handy where you have a receiver at the rooftop communicating information. The downside with this is poor connectivity is unplanned areas where signals get heavily damped.

ADSL: Currently deployed only by Nepal Telecom, the (Asynchronous) Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) uses your landline cable as the medium requiring no more than a router at the home end. While we are aware of the limited bandwidth NT currently throttles, light users still rock the ADSL with fairly decent uptime for a hasslefree connection.
