Rumored Reliance Jio Fiber Broadband Plans

[Zexen]

I am surprised that apart from Airtel nobody has reacted to Gigafiber announcement. I thought small isps will slash prices. Looks like the mentality hasn't changed. Guess they didn't learn anything from the 4G launch. They will get up their asses once they start bleeding customers and revenue. Maybe they are just waiting for Tariffs announcement from Jio.

Decision making isn't easy, especially to bring down the prices. It wouldn't done in one-go as well. For example, BSNL has increased the FUP limit by 50GB in three FTTH plans in Kerala. It may take a few more weeks for the rest of the states to follow-up.

Even within Airtel, the decisions aren't widespread. It has removed FUP on certain plans only in Hyderabad. Now, I got a call from Airtel (Madurai) saying that my FUP can be removed if I request a new plan. I currently pay 999 + taxes for 2mbps connection. The new plan is 399 + taxes for the same speed, without FUP. As you said, Jio hasn't even announced the tariff details. When it releases, the decision would be taken faster resulting in better value for money for the consumers.

I would say wired Broadband ISPs better prepared for Jio threat than AVoId during 4G 2 years back.

Why are they prioritizing cities which already have good broadband plans. They should prioritize cities like mine where we have to pay 1000rs per month for 1 megabit per sec. I hate my local isp coz of poor connection with no customer support and rain issues.

For connection installation at your home you need to call on their customer care number. They will do a feasibility check and will provide you connection within 7 days of application.

I am using jio fiber from last 8 months. Living in sector 70 mohali independent house.

Speed is constant at 95 Mbps down and 95 up. Though ping to US and Singapore is way Higher than airtel.

Can you provide their customer support email?

My neighbor has a big system box of jio, does anybody knows what it is? The wires(different colors) goes right into the ground and it runs 24/7 even when there is no electricity.

 

[Xecuter]

The box looks like this(called eNodeB) and has Reliance Jio written on it and wires goes through it into the ground so does it have anything to do with Jio Gigafiber?

If he is your neighbour, then nothing better than directly walking to his doorstep asking directly.
