At Only Rs. 1250 Per Month, Vianet Launches 175 Mbps Internet with TV Under Its Ultra-Fi Package

Vianet, one of the popular internet and TV service providers in Nepal, has launched three new plans at attractive prices. The company is launching this new line of plans under the name “Ultra-Fi”.

The three plans include 125 Mbps, 175 Mbps, and 250 Mbps. On an annual subscription basis, these new plans cost Rs. 1,100, Rs. 1,250, and Rs. 1,500 per month, respectively, making them the cheapest price per month per Mbps—even cheaper than the CG NET.

Among the above-mentioned three plans, the company believes that the 175 Mbps plan will suit the majority of consumers. The plan costs Rs. 15,000 for an annual subscription and includes 2 ViaTV subscriptions.

Having said that, you do need to keep in mind a few one-time setup charges. Under Ultra-Fi plans, the consumer is required to purchase an Ultra-Fi Wi-Fi device from Vianet, which is a dual-band ONU device. Additionally, you may have to pay extra for internet installation, set-top boxes, a fiber Wi-Fi device deposit, and a set-top box deposit.

However, if you subscribe to a yearly plan, Vianet offers free internet installation, free first set-top box, and Rs. 1,000 reward points on all of the packages.

The provided ONU, according to Vianet, also enables a mesh Wi-Fi system, and the company intends to offer affordable mesh Wi-Fi solutions for its customers in the near future.

How does Vianet Ultra-Fi Value Compare to Other ISPs?

Let’s look at some of the other ISPs’ offerings and pricing to see how they compare. As of writing this, CG Net’s top plan is 120 Mbps, whereas WorldLink (excluding the mesh system) and Dishhome both offer 100 Mbps.

Considering just the yearly subscription plan without VAT, Vianet costs Rs. 15,000 for 175 Mbps, CG Net costs Rs. 11,988 for 120 Mbps, Worldlink costs Rs. 19,200 for 100 Mbps, and Dishhome costs Rs. 18,499 for 100 Mbps.

After doing some basic calculations, we found that, per month, Vianet costs Rs. 7.14 per Mbps, CG Net costs Rs. 8.33 per Mbps, Worldlink costs Rs. 16 per Mbps, and Dishhome costs Rs. 15.42 per Mbps.

It’s worth noting that CG Net does not offer any TV plans in the above plans, whilst Dishhome only offers one, Worldlink three, and Vianet two.

Moreover, Vianet and Worldlink offer a YouTube app on TV and a catch-up TV feature that records live TV channels for up to 7 days so that viewers can re-watch them. These functions are not available in Dishhome.

Also, regardless of whether you choose a monthly or yearly plan, the CG Net pricing is the same. Other ISPs’ prices per Mbps, on the other hand, increase when the subscription period is shorter than a year.

For a new installation, Dishhome does not take any additional charges, however, Vianet, CG Net, and Worldlink all take refundable deposits per ONU, router, and/or set-top box.

Adding all the additional charges and 13% VAT, for a new annual subscription, Vianet charges Rs. 19,080, CG Net charges Rs. 14,046.44, Worldlink charges Rs. 22,696, and Dishhome charges Rs. 20,903.87.

Furthermore, for renewing, Vianet charges Rs. 16,950, CG Net charges Rs. 13546.44, Worldlink charges Rs. 21,696, and Dishhome charges Rs. 20,903.87.

Vianet Ultra-Fi Package and Prices

As mentioned earlier, Vianet’s new “Ultra-Fi” packages include three plans: 125 Mbps + 1 ViaTV, 175 Mbps + 2 ViaTV, and 250 Mbps + 3 ViaTV.

The tables below show the costs and installation fees for all of the Ultra-Fi plans that are currently available without VAT.

Keep in mind that the listing above only contains prices for one (primary) set-top box. Vianet charges Rs. 2,000 for the secondary set-top box’s activation and an additional Rs. 500 as a deposit.

The ViaTV subscription is included in the package, but if you require more than what is offered, you must pay Rs. 200 per month per set-top box.

Furthermore, during the ViaTV installation, Vianet will only provide up to 5 meters of Ethernet cable for free. Extra Ethernet cable from Vianet costs Rs. 40 per meter.
