Nepal now has more internet subscriptions than its total population. According to the latest Nepal Telecommunications Authority data, the country recorded 3.13 crore broadband subscriptions between July 17 and August 16, 2026, compared with a population of about 29.2 million.
That doesn’t mean 3.13 crore people are using the internet. The figure counts active subscriptions, so one person can have multiple connections—for example, more than one SIM card along with a home Wi-Fi connection. Mobile broadband accounts for the vast majority of subscriptions, with 4G making up most mobile internet use. Fixed broadband, mainly fibre connections, is also continuing to grow.
