With this, the company switched off all the lines working on traditional copper-based technology on Friday, 2080-Magh-26. The company closed its copper network Siemens, E10, MASAN/MSAG and made way for the next-generation FTTH technology.
The move aligns with the company’s aggressive plan for delivering fiber-based services nationwide. Recently, Nepal Telecom completed copper-to-fiber migration in Butwal, Babarmahal, and multiple other places.
