Reliance Jio Expected to Live Up to the GigaFiber Hype With Triple Play Plan, IPTV Service and More

August is here and the only thing that a lot of tech enthusiasts and the general public is looking forward to is the commercial launch of Reliance Jio’s FTTH service, dubbed, Reliance Jio GigaFiber. If you know anything about the wired broadband service by Reliance Jio (if you’re not living under the rock) then you know that it’s been almost a year since the telecom operator announced it. However, now it’s high time and we know that the Mukesh Ambani led telco is going to commercially launch this service in its 42nd Annual General Meeting which is going to be held on August 12. But, the question remains, whether or not Reliance Jio will be able to live up to the hype which it has created for the FTTH service. And, will it recreate another story similar to how it did in 2016?

Reliance Jio to Make a Dent in the Broadband Market

Firstly, it is worth noting that with the launch of this new service, Reliance Jio wants to gain a monopoly over the market which remains untouched by till now. Currently, Jio already dominates the wireless broadband segment, and with GigaFiber, the telco will be on the path of becoming a massive wired broadband service provider too. The launch of this new service is also expected to be a grand one, and GigaFiber is likely to steal the limelight from a lot of other service providers.

Currently, to get a Reliance Jio GigaFiber subscription in the areas where it is available for preview testing, the subscribers are paying Rs 4,500 for the security deposit. After this amount, the monthly rental of the subscriber is waived off, and for this much, the subscribers are getting 100GB data per month, and in case the subscriber exhausts this data, Reliance Jio also ships extra free data vouchers which will push the data offering of the box to 1,100GB instead of merely 100GB.
