Rumored Reliance Jio Fiber Broadband Plans

I was told by the Jio representative last week that the Set Top Box mostly will be provided within 2 months.
How can they provide set top box free of cost? Specially those who already purchased the Gigafiber ONT. Why would they bothered for it. I think these Jio representative know nothing about Jio future plannings. They are just guessing or trying to luring the customers.
 
There is nothing free in this world. The deposit of Rs 4500 includes cost of both ONT and STB. As there is no sale, taxes are saved by the company and being the property of the service provider, he is entitled to claim benefits on account of depreciation year after year.

Further, the value of your deposit will increase with time (interest component) and the value of equipment in your custody will reduce with time on two counts, firstly by depreciation and secondly by the fact that replacement cost of any electronic equipment will decease over time.

You will take good care of his equipment, otherwise, you may not get refund of your deposit. He will invest your money in risky business without allotment of shares, so you do not get any share in profits like dividends, but if the business is at loss, you risk the delayed or even no return of your deposit.

So ONT and STB is free to you or your money is free to him?

Great insight. Companies like Reliance are bloody wicked. LMAO.
 
They may be apprehending trouble from local cable operators, so may be delaying. But without triple play, it does not get proper response.
