Reliance Jio has revealed the prices and varied plans of its JioFiber broadband service, which is commercially available in the country from 5 September onwards.
As expected, the plans are priced between Rs 700 and Rs 10,000 with speeds up to 1Gbps on offer, and data maxing out at 5,000GB. And if you want the free 4K TV, get ready to spend over Rs 9,000 every month on JioFiber and its integrated services.
Reliance Jio says it is pricing the plans at less than one-tenth the global rates, to make it accessible for all. Existing users will get a call from Jio executive to work out their chosen plan, while new users can sign up through Jio.com or MyJio app.
All users on JioFiber are getting a 4K set top box and Jio Home Gateway system for free. In addition to this, Jio claims that users will get access to zero-latency gaming, TV video calling support, and device security for up to five devices via Norton software.
Jio is also offering these monthly plans in the form of JioForever Plan, which is where the user will be getting HD, Full HD or 4K television. But the amount of money you’ll be spending to get these is much higher than what you’re paying for broadband internet right now.
The company also mentioned that JioFiber users will have access to 3, 6 and 12 month plans. And these can be availed through bank tie-ups, as Jio allows the user to pay their annual plans in the form of monthly EMIs as given below.
The company is looking to compete with existing broadband players like Airtel, BSNL and other local internet providers in the country.
