Worth a wait! As promised, Reliance Jio Fiber to offer free broadband services installation today

New Delhi, September 05: Expecting to disrupt the industry with its high-speed connectivity at affordable pricing, Reliance Jio Fiber is set to roll out commercially starting today. Since its entry in the telecom space, this is the biggest launch for Reliance Industries.

 

Reliance Jio Fiber would offer plans starting at Rs 700 at 100 Mbps of which the detailed information about the data plans and their pricing would be revealed later today. The only information available so far is that the base plan would start at Rs 700 with 100 Mbps speed and go up to Rs 10,000 for the 1Gbps plan.

 

 

At the Reliance Industries Limited Annual General Meeting (RIL AGM), Ambani had announced a bunch of freebies and offers. The Reliance Jio Fiber Welcome Offer would include a Full HD Television or a Home PC alongside a 4K set-top box for customers who opt for the annual plan called Jio Forever Plan.

 

The Jio set-top-box is while slated to allow Jio Fiber users to access television services and also enjoy a console-like gaming experience. The Jio set-top box, which also has built-in graphics, is claimed to support almost all gaming controllers and also supports virtual controllers on smartphones.

The Jio Fiber Welcome Offer also includes a fixed-line service called Jio Home Phone. The service would offer international calling with ‘lowest fixed-line rates’.

 

Jio Fiber, then known as Reliance Jio GigaFiber, has been under beta-testing for a year and has received over 15 million registrations from nearly 1,600 towns. Reliance is still accepting Jio Fiber registrations on its website. The Jio Fiber registration process includes entering the home or work address and personal details on the website.

 

Coming to the competition, Tata and Airtel seem to be the most popular brands offering broadband services. However, neither of the companies come close to the 1000Mbps broadband speed and the pricing that JioFiber offers.
