However, Nepal Telecom and Dish Home have solidly improved their profile going toe-to-toe against each other. The state-backed company made phenomenal strides in FY 2081/82 and continues to do so in FY 2083/84 too. Dish Home is also going from strength to strength. Here are some of the top ISPs in Nepal with their customer base from the latest NTA report.

| Vianet | 363,037 | 357,771 | 5,266 ↑ |
| Nepal Telecom | 354,169 | 351,725 | 2,444 ↑ |
