Using higher number of connections does increase the speed of your download if ur computer is capable or else it will make it worse.
But it's not worth it because IDM takes too much time to stitch these parts together after completing the download.
I would recommend using 8 or 16 connections.

This is true.

I've been hearing about this from YT and over here but it's not officially confirmed, like I said on earlier comments Jio CC confirmed that 199 is standalone and since yesterday after contacting multiple CC and the local Jio guy they say combo pack isn't standalone but can be used along with other base plans as a data voucher, once "Base plan" expires the combo plan 199 would not work until you recharge for a base plan.

It's only a matter of time until we know what's true and it's sad we have to test this crap system out. 😒

just got my connection installed.... so i can only update this on 21Jan2020 ;):p
 
I have started getting the notification of installing the set top box in the Jio app.
What happens if I book an appointment? Will I have to compulsorily recharge with a paid plan or will I be able to use the service till my current plan expires?
Because if I have to recharge then I won't book an appointment.

I gave my phone number in the settop box notification page. Do i have to compulsorily recharge or i can opt settop box latter ?
 
They will not let you redeem the STB without the paid plan recharge.

So if you are on free preview offer and this is your last month, maybe book the appointment 5-6 days before the preview offer ends.

I was on free preview offer and I had 28 days validity left, but once I recharged with paid plan, my preview offer was removed at 1 AM on the same night.
 
I received my STB a while back. Haven't gotten the time to look in detail but UI looks sleek, the button sounds on the remote are pretty bad. I mainly wanted to check for HEVC media playback and it does work just like what the other members said.
Would love to see more apps like Prime, Netflix etc. come in the future. Currently there's only SonyLiv, Hotstar, Voot, Jio Cinema, also YouTube.
Edit 1 - I did find certain audio codecs not working like AC-3 even though it supports
Edit 2 - The media playback is possible as long as STB has access to internet if not it doesn't play from storage devices. I'm assuming it's remote play like Plex. Uploading data from storage to remote server and streams the data back to the STB.

So I got a call from Jio for STB. The guy said I have to recharge before he can send someone for STB installation. I said I'm already on Diamond plan. He paused for a bit, and said "Sir, aapko pehle recharge karana padega". This went on for a while, I realized the guy was a fucking moron, disconnected.
Jio CC is a piece of shit.
