I believe a Jiofi three years ago costed ₹2000? Current prices are around ₹1000. A new 4G smartphone with hotspot costs at least 3K.

My point is if your need necessitates a broadband connection, I can only strongly encourage you to start with the cheapest local ISP and work your way up later. COVID won’t finish this year. Broadband demand won’t go down ever. 4G companies won’t be improving their infrastructure in the short term due to their economic state. It’s one of the safest bets to get a broadband connection. Installation and equipment costs haven’t ever been cheaper. I’m no financial adviser but I think a deal can be Struck up with your LCO to turn the overall installation costs to 12 installments you can pay off in a year.

Honestly speaking I don't need a broadband connection. Using my JioFi I am able to do all sorts of things like browsing, streaming Youtube in 720p. The problem is what I mentioned in my opening post. For the past 1 month I am facing multiple speed drops which only a router reboot can fix. Just think if you have to reboot your router 5-6 times a day how annoying that will be for you.
 
I have similar issues with Airtel with 2CA( two engines to understand in layman terms) and yet the speed I get is slower than bullock cart.
@pillaicha has summarised it perfectly, it boils down to your tolerance. If money is really that much of an issue, switching on-off is a small peeve you can manage since you are able to get the job done.
Things could improve slightly given that Reliance has acquired spectrum, however it remains to be seen how it works out in your region.
If you can wait for 2-3 months carry with Jiofi else get a bb connection.
 
More spectrum means more customers again.By the time Jio reports good speed increase , people are already porting in. That SIM nomad thing will remain
 
True, just giving some hope(fingers crossed) in times like this. No matter how much spectrum operators buy, it will never be sufficient.
 
I mean even if the government allocated spectrum for free to these companies, they’d be unable to use it. Historically, there’s never been the drive for any of these companies to fiberise their towers. Add a micro transceiver, link it to a base station, and repeat. Hey, you’re getting 4G on your device now, I guess just be “grateful“? Jio is the only company to have ever shown the other fools that the compete or die principle isn’t going to evade them forever in India. I’m thankful to Jio for that.
 
Nope. It was ideal, but never a requisite. They use a micro transceiver. It's basically a thing that looks like a 1.5m dish. It uses very high frequency 26-28 GHz and sort of acts like a wireless fiber link. So you may get the bandwidth, but at the cost of latency.
