Reliance Jio to offer 1.1TB FTTH broadband data at 100Mbps high-speed internet

Reliance Jio to offer fibre to the home (FTTH) broadband service with over 1.1TB of free data at speeds of 100 mbps in select markets in the country. The commercial services are said to roll out in the second half of this year.

The initial FTTH plan includes 100 gigabytes (GB) of free data at 100 mbps speed; once the data limited is exhausted, the customers can do top-up of 40 GB of free data 25 times in a month, effectively meaning 1,100 GB of free data a month.”The JioFiber connection can be availed by paying an interest free refundable security deposit of Rs 4,500 added the report. The company will install the Jio router, which can be also used as a set-top box when the company launches internet protocol television (IPTV) services.

 Jio is reportedly testing JioFiber in 10 cities. On Twitter, JioCare had previously confirmed that the service will be available in six cities, including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Jamnagar, Surat and Vadodara at the time of launch.

The FTTSH-based JioFiber services will also come with bundled JioMedia share device, smart set top box, routers and Power Line Communication (PLC) plugs. Alongside the high-speed internet service, JioFiber is also expected to give a major push to IoT (Internet of Things) in the country.

Bharti Airtel recently announced a new 300 Mbps FTTH broadband plan at a monthly rental of Rs 2,199. The new plan comes with up to 1200 GB of data, along with free unlimited local and STD calls.
