Rumored Reliance Jio Fiber Broadband Plans

That looks like right in the middle of the street! Hope they have been sensible before digging holes.

And that kid on the cycle has no fucking idea, how lucky he is that Jio is coming to his area.

@MeanMachine It means a lot of wire issues coming in near future?

Not me, I dont have Jio fiber :-)
 
Jio is rolling out in a city called “Gadarwara” the population is 50,000 only (maybe less) it’s a Tehsil (Sub District) in Madhya Pradesh. So there are high chances that they will cover cities. BSNL is here in Gadarwara and accordiong to JTO there are 1900-2000 customers of BSNL in Gadarwara also BSNL has started to rollout FTTH here (using LCO hence overhead wiring) but Jio is digging the roads and installing the fibre. One more thing is that BSNL can provide FTTH even in Rural areas because they can access BBNL’s (Google it) network. BBNL is a government service basically for Gram Panchayat. They are using GPON technology and giving connection to every Gram Panchyat using Splitter. They are basically installing a OLT between 4-5 Gram Panchayats and connecting all Gram Panchayat (GP). Now from GP BSNL is just using a splitter to give connection in Villages.

Can you please explain how this is different from what Jio is doing? Between Jio FTTH and BSNL FTTH, which is better in rural areas?
 
@MeanMachine BBNL is Government's Fiber Network and non of the Private Company actually did not made a deal to Government for the Fiber Deployment (No one bid for the Tender Pass lol).

So basically, Jio FTTH > BSNL anytime.

The question here are two different.

1. Who will have better reach to Villages?
> BSNL

2. Who will be better in quality (BSNL vs. JioFTTH)?
> JioFTTH.

P.S.: Jio wouldn't care for the village's deployment since they won't be able to pay for the bills. What I mean to say is that Jio is targeting two type of customers.

1. Who are rich or lives in posh-areas or in society.

2. Places which are left untouched by many big companies (Example: Airtel/Hathway).

That's the reason, Jio isn't able to launch or deploy the lines in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Banglore (Since, they are limiting the installations in such cities only within the Societies right now).

That is the reason, Why telling others to fillup the JioFTTH Form is very important. The more you fill, the better your chances are for the launch.

P.S.: Probably, Jio is paying alot to the news websites to write about the same thing again and again (basically there is no new news but then also many houses writes about Jio Registration once a week with same news).

If BSNL launches FTTH, then I'd jump to it without second thought. As mentioned by @Nikhil Sharma already, BSNL already has the FTTH infrastructure to most cities including tier 2 and tier 3 cities. It is in the interests of private companies and due to the cost involved that they haven't provided FTTH to the mass public, yet. I still hope that one day (probably after 10 years), BSNL would provide FTTH to most cities. If they can stretch it to villages, it will be a milestone and it will benefit lots of people in villages.
