Worldlink Fair Usage Policy (FUP)
Like many other ISPs, WorldLink implements a dynamic fair usage policy (FUP) and it is necessary to keep track of your internet usage to avoid speed throttling. The company, if needed contacts, warns, and lowers your connection’s performance upon your extreme use of the bandwidth. But you can easily check your FUP status, through the MyWorldLink app.
Download the app on your mobile phone, and log in with your assigned ID and password. Then scroll below, and you will see the FUP count. If the color is green, you are consuming bandwidth within the limit, and you are fine. But if you have exceeded the daily usage limit, it will turn yellow, and you should be on alert.
A normal user would never have to come across FUP as they mostly surf Facebook, YouTube videos, google pages, and visit sites. But those who are heavy internet users, who share large videos on the internet, and use torrents regularly, may experience some restrictions someday.
Worldlink has set a daily usage limit on users before FUP strikes. Therefore, if you happen to consume more bandwidth than are supposed to, the broadband performance might see some decline. the ISP like others uses dynamic FUP so the higher the speed capacity, the fewer FUP restrictions.
You can contact WorldLink at +977-9801523051 (Ncell) and +977-01-5970050 (Nepal Telecom) numbers for information and support. Besides, you can also send an email to the ISP at support@worldlink.com.np.
