Jio Entry-Level Broadband Plan
Reliance Jio's entry-level broadband plan comes for Rs 399. This plan comes with 30 Mbps of speed and offers 3.3TB of data. There are no OTT (over-the-top) benefits bundled with the plan. So in that regard, Airtel's plan is better. However, you can pay a little extra, which is Rs 599 per month, and get a free Jio STB (Set-Top Box) along with access to several OTT benefits.
So in comparison, Jio's plan is more affordable. But there's not a major difference between the two plans in pricing. The OTT benefits and a better speed are with Airtel. In hindsight, both plans are good and have their own purpose. According to your needs, you can choose one plan and get a connection booked through the official website of Airtel or Jio. Alternatively, you can also book a new connection through the mobile apps of the respective telcos.
