Step-by-step instructions
Determine whether the issue is your device or the connection
Try the same site on another phone or computer. A device-only problem calls for different help from a total fibre outage. If everyone is offline, note what the router and optical network terminal indicator lights display.
Measure the problem without misleading results
Test over Ethernet if practical, or near the router when few other devices are using the connection. Run more than one speed test at different times. Record download, upload and latency, but do not assume a single Wi-Fi result represents the ISP’s entire contracted service.
Collect your subscription information
Find the plan name, invoice, service ID and any written speed or uptime commitments. Keep dates, screenshots and ticket numbers in a small document. Avoid sharing full account IDs or router admin passwords on public forums.
Contact the ISP first
Describe the exact fault, location, start time and whether multiple devices are affected. Ask for a reference number and keep records of the technician visit or promised follow-up. A factory reset without ISP instructions may erase configured fibre-router settings.
Read the NTA complaint guidance
Go to nta.gov.np and find the consumer complaint management system or the grievance application. NTA explains that customers can raise unresolved telecommunications-service problems through its complaint channels.
Submit a factual, evidence-backed complaint if necessary
Include the provider name, issue, relevant dates, efforts to resolve it and any response received. Explain what outcome you are seeking without exaggeration. Follow the official portal’s current submission instructions; avoid lookalike portals collecting login credentials.
Keep tracking and protect your connection
Save the registration acknowledgement and record new outages. Change the router’s weak default admin password through approved instructions and consider isolating smart devices from sensitive work devices where your equipment supports it.
Mistakes to avoid
- Resetting the fibre ONT or router to factory settings without provider guidance.
- Assuming one speed-test screenshot proves every billing or service violation.
- Sending complaints to unofficial agents with router credentials attached.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I complain about poor ISP service in Nepal?
Begin with the ISP, then consult NTA’s official complaint-handling system or grievance application for unresolved issues.
Should I test speed on Wi-Fi or cable?
Where possible, use a wired test as one comparison and note signal strength and connected devices for Wi-Fi tests.
Will filing a complaint guarantee compensation?
No. Outcomes depend on the facts, contract terms and applicable rules; the official regulator process is not an automatic refund.
