Is there any limit on Jio Happy New Year Offer data like there was a 4GB FUP limit on Jio Welcome Offer? | Reliance Jio FAQs

Is there any limit on Jio Happy New Year Offer data like there was a 4GB FUP limit on Jio Welcome Offer?
The Jio Happy New Year Offer incorporates a lot of our learnings from the Jio Welcome Offer.
For instance, we have noticed that 80% of Jio users consume less than 1 GB of data daily. 1 GB per day is still a substantial amount of data. In fact, it is 30 times the average usage on other 4G networks.
But, the other 20% of users consume disproportionately higher amount of data, and we have observed that this disproportionate usage contributes significantly to the congestion. In short, 20% of the users create a poor experience for the other 80%.
So, in the Jio Happy New Year Offer, we have fine-tuned our Fair Usage Policy to ensure that all users get a fair share of Jio’s network capacity.
During this period Jio customers will also be able to test Jio’s digital recharge and billing experience, especially using the JioMoney wallet.
So, under the Jio Happy New Year Offer, Jio customers will get 30 times the average usage on other networks absolutely free till 31st March 2017.
And the overall service experience for all customers will be much better.

Only problem that I have with this is that.

I dont use Jio much now a days.

But once in a while I do need to download files > 1GB.

Like iOS update or android software update.

On such days this 1GB limit will interfere with my normal browsing

Once the update is launched - 1GB will be consumed within an hour

and then whole day I wud have to work with super slow speed.

What they should do is - 1GB/day limit shud apply only if I have not used 3GB in 3 days.
Otherwise limit would be 3GB/day

So if today I download 3GB/day - tomorrow's limit would be only 1GB/day.

This would restrict heavy users to 1GB/day

But it will also allow occasional downloaders to download till 3GB/day

^^^ Then JIO should rather have said 7 GB per week or 30 GB per month
Even I did not imagined scenario when our download may be above 1 GB for some particular day. But that is valid scenario.

i guess they want people to start paying up for daily topups. daily fup limits is more annoying than monthly fup limits.

 

[amish]

No weekly or monthly limit dont make sense.

If I used 7GB in a day (for any random reason) then I will have to wait 6 more days for speed to resume.

with 1GB/day - max I have to wait is 1 day for speed to resume.

So 1GB/day if regular downloader
3GB/day if not downloader

That balances both case.

Does anyone else use Dropbox? And do you get shit upload speeds with dropbox? I almost always get shit upload speeds on dropbox all the time. Even for uploading a very small file like 50 MB, it takes hours at times. Rarely it also uploads normally and finishes in a few minutes. I have noticed this issue mainly with dropbox. When I shift to some other connection such as Airtel 3G or even BSNL broadband (when it is stable like once in a blue moon), the uploads are normal again.

A lot of smaller player claims that Dropbox upload speeds are shite compared to their own offerings. I have never really noticed. But then I don't use Dropbox regularly. They are however one of the few companies that did dedup at upload. If you are trying to upload a popular file, it would probably upload in a matter of seconds as Dropbox would just detect it and make available a copy from their end in your account. Google Drive does not do this which drives me crazy at times.

Not happy with the 1 gb limit per day

Jio is right in enforcing 1 GB/ day FUP. In fact they should have made it 500 mb.

Guys they are still giving you 30 gb/ month whereas people take 1 gb/ month data on an average from avoid.

Let me ask - has anyone subscribed to a 30 gb data plan from avoid ?

The idea here is to let everyone get a feel of high speed internet for which 1gb/ day is enough.
