Ncell Nepal’s Fastest Mobile Network
Every year, Ncell invests steadily in its infrastructure in order to provide the best possible service to its customers.
KATHMANDU: Ncell Axiata Limited has received Nepal’s Fastest Mobile Network Award for January-June 2022 from Ookla, the global leader in mobile and broadband network intelligence.
This honor was bestowed upon Ncell based on the company’s Speed ScoreTM in mobile download and upload speeds.
To win this award, Ncell achieved a Speed Score of 17.16, with median download speeds of 17.31 Mbps and
median upload speeds of 9.26 Mbps, securing the best speeds in this market. The scores were calculated by combining download and upload speeds to rank network speed performance.
During the first and second quarters of 2022, Ookla compared 16,929 user-initiated tests conducted on the Speedtest iOS and Android apps by all major mobile carriers in Nepal. According to Ookla, the results included “all” cellular tests performed on devices capable of achieving the fastest mobile speeds commonly available in the country.
“We are delighted that our continuous efforts to connect Nepal with high-speed mobile broadband to link Nepalis with the opportunities it brings have been recognized as the ‘Fastest Mobile Network in Nepal’ by the global leader in speed testing,” said Andy Chong, CEO of Ncell. The award proves that we deliver on our promises to our customers.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders for their trust and for assisting us in providing the fastest mobile data service.”
Every year, Ncell invests steadily in its infrastructure in order to provide the best possible service to its customers. Since June 2017, Ncell has expanded its 4G service to over 70 districts, providing access to high-speed mobile broadband to 85 percent of the country’s population.
“The Ookla Speedtest Awards are an elite designation reserved for the world’s fastest and top-performing fixed broadband and mobile operators.” It gives us great pleasure to present Ncell with the award for Nepal’s Fastest Mobile Network. “Based on Ookla’s rigorous analysis of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest, this recognition is a testament to their exceptional performance in Q1-Q2 2022,” said Doug Suttles, CEO of Ookla.
Ncell was also named ‘Telecom Company of the Year’ in March 2022, and its Integrated Data Centre initiative was named ‘Infrastructure Initiative of the Year’ at the 2022 Asian Telecom Awards.
Similarly, in April of this year, the company received the ‘Excellence in Employer Brand Award 2022’ at the 14th edition of HR Meet in Nepal for its good HR practices.
