CG Communication Limited – one of the child companies under CG Group, has been preparing to provide Fiber Internet at an affordable price in Nepal. It has now completed the first phase of the work, and it is offering internet services in some places of Kathmandu Valley. It has brought a plan for the service at half the price of what the current ISPs provide in Nepal.
CG Communication greatly influences the functional ability and positively impacts the public and private sector’s quality of services via CG net.
The company provides 120 Mbps of CG net for just Rs 999 per month and Rs 11,988 per year. The fastest bandwidth option we get from other ISPs are 100 Mbps for Rs 21,600 per year from Vianet and 80 Mbps for Rs. 22,000 per year from Worldlink.
It believes in bringing a new experience to the consumer. It aims to provide internet service across the country in both industrial as well as personal sectors.
It is also planning to bring IP TV and other exciting services. It is trying to provide its service to fulfill the demand arising from Video, OTT platform, and work from home scenarios.
Firstly, it will provide the service in the Kathmandu valley, which includes the three districts- Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur. The service is now available in Jawalakhel, Jhamsikhel, Bhanimandal, and Ekantakuna.
According to the company, in 12 months, the internet service will be available in all the places inside Kathmandu valley. It promises that once you want to subscribe to the service and order for the service, they will get it done within 6 to 24 hours.
CG telecom has aimed to implement CG net throughout the country within the end of 2078 B.S. For customer service, it has established CG Digital Branch in Jawalakhel, Kumaripati, Kirtipur, Nayabazar, Minbhawan, and Trade Tower Thapathali.
As the network gets extended in the coming days, the customer services offices will be built in other places around the valley. As a service inauguration offer, the company is providing 120 Mbps of the internet for Rs.999.
For consumers opting for the yearly package, they will get a router and service for free. Likewise, for monthly, three-month, and six-month packages, service charges and cable will be free of cost.
Nirvana Chaudhary – Managing Director of CG Communication, says they have begun the CG Net services for providing high quality and affordable internet services in Nepal as they had promised.
He further adds, “Daily life activities demand high-speed internet, and the demand has also been increasing. So, they have come with a firm determination to be the bold and competitive member in the broadband sector of Nepal.”
