It has been more than 45 days since the announcement of JioFiber plans and we did not see any major changes in the broadband segment. Jio disrupted the telecom market back in 2016 with its affordable offerings, however, that is not the case in the broadband sector. Reliance JioFiber broadband plans received a lukewarm response from the users because of the FUP limit put on place for every broadband plan. That said, JioFiber commercial launch is now over and the company is providing broadband services in several new cities. While Jio is yet to reach its goal of launching JioFiber services in 1,100 cities, the company is at least taking on other service providers like BSNL, Airtel Xstream and so on. These are the key things you should before opting for JioFiber connection.

JioTV Plus Service Will Be Available for JioFiber Users
While announcing the commercial plans of JioFiber, Mukesh Ambani confirmed that the JioFiber users would get access to a special service called ‘JioTV Plus.’ Right now, details about this service are not known, but we’re expecting it to be an OTT service platform. For example, JioFiber customers will be able to watch content from other OTT service platforms like ZEE5, Hotstart and so on under this JioTV Plus service. That being said, nothing is confirmed from the house of Reliance Jio officially, so take this news with a pinch of salt. Also, there’s no update on when the company is planning to launch the JioTV Plus service to its customers.
Requirement for a Separate TV Connection
Although previously rumours were floating that Reliance Jio would bring free TV connection with its JioFiber plans that would allow the subscribers to access satellite TV channels, none of that has materialised for the subscribers who were awaiting this facility. In order to make the full use of the JioFiber ecosystem, the subscribers will eventually have to get a TV cable connection from an LCO in addition to paying Jio for the broadband services. However, there is some relief for the customers of JioFiber. Read the next point to find out.
