Today I signed into foss nepal to raise this issue and surprised to see the problem already solved. Seems like public awareness in Nepal is increasing in every field. Happy to see this. All you linux users, have you ever tried using your own DNS server. DNS of ntc is unreliable one with slow response. A custom DNS server in your own machine can really speedup the browsing speed.
