User Experiences And Complains
There are lots of public complaints regarding Internet speed and services. Many Nepalese complains about getting lower speed even if they have a subscription for higher internet speed. Nepalese private internet service providers like Worldlink and Subisu’s users also complain about not having the speed that they paid for.
Evidently, there are no any well-managed government agencies to take action against these kinds of incidents. For instance, not just Nepali public, Prem Lal Maharjan, chairman of the National Consumer Forum, said
“consumers can not sense the difference between 3 G and 4 G except in city centers. Likewise, the data charges are relatively high”
Meanwhile, Nepalese Authority published that, there are 4.79 million 4G users in the country, including subscribers of Nepal Telecom, Ncell, and Smart Telecom. And despite claims of improved speeds, people have been complaining that the internet in Nepal is too slow.
