Reliance Jio topples BSNL as largest fixed line broadband provider

In about two years of commercial roll out of its fixed-line broadband services, Reliance Jio has toppled 20-year-old state-run telecom company BSNL as top service provider in the segment. According to a monthly telecom subscribers report released by the telecom regulator Trai on Tuesday, Jio...

What garbage, you can quote their subscribers data from 3-4 years ago and it's the same story.

Here's one from Jan 2017

Top five service providers constituted 85.76% market share of the total broadband subscribers at the end of Jan-17. These service providers were Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd (90.64 million), Bharti Airtel (45.54 million), Vodafone (35.89 million), Idea Cellular (25.35 million) and BSNL (20.20 million).

In my society/area, BSNL never came.
Airtel was stuck with approval for long time.
Jio and Tata Sky started setting up infrastructure at same day.
But Jio completed setup, did door to door registration, got most of interested customers and started providing service.
TataSky just put adverts that it is available, but nobody came to ask for registration.

No wonder Jio is leading.
 
Jio is building out infra at a pace never seen before. They're even complelety disregarding RoW rules in some places. Recently I came across an article where the BMC gave JioFiber permission for horizontal drilling, but they went ahead and made trenches, cutting through interlocking pavement tiles, and never bothered to restore the destroyed pavement after their work was done. I mean, it's great broadband penetration is increasing, but we have rules for a reason right? What if every provider decides to do this? Would we even have streets and pavements in our neighbourhoods?

But more importantly, Jio wins on two points simply: cost and very aggressive marketing. I get a visit at least every month or a phone call from JioFiber salespeople asking if I'm willing to switch or just try their service. Kudos to that.
 
Here is the Trend of the last 2 years between BSNL, Jio Fiber, Airtel, ACT, Hathway and Rest.

After Including subsidaries of Jio Fiber which use their backbone infra like Airtel is doing with LCO's and other players the Net Result looks like this.

Airtel plays by rules, atleast in my case.
Jio throws rules into the wind, also in my case.

Jio wanted to setup infra for their broadband services 8 months after Airtel. Told him to get atleast one requirement so that there will be no issue later if any dickhead raises objection about drilling for nodes. He said things work the other way round in Jio's case. "We setup infra and then get connection." That is called marketing and confidence to get away with the rules.
After arguing with me for some time, I told him to FO!!
