Reliance Jio has already commenced registration for its latest offering, Jio GigaFiber broadband. The new fibre optic based broadband service is expected to bring yet another revolution in this industry like it was the case during 2016 in the prepaid sector. Reliance Jio GigaFiber is scheduled to ship broadband services at extremely low pricing and with many offers to lure in the consumers. The registrations for the service which started on August 15 are still going on, and the service will be rolled out to 1,100 cities in the first phase along with other services like GigaTV, smart home solutions and more. Below we have summed up the top five things which Reliance Jio will be shipping under the GigaFiber brand name.
Broadband Service – GigaFiber
Reliance Jio unlike other broadband service providers who use conventional cables will make use of the Fiber optic cables to avail broadband services to the consumers. Like it is the case with Airtel, the Sunil Mittal led telco is being bogged down in the fibre segment despite introducing the V-Fiber technology because of slow scaling. Reliance Jio will take an alternative path and will provide top-notch hardware for the provision of this service, to ensure that customers have access to high-speed internet at their home.
100GB Data No More an Exception
While in the present times, ACT Fibernet and other fibre-based broadband service providers ship 100GB data only in their most expensive offerings or in their top plans, Reliance Jio GigaFiber will likely change this trend. The Mukesh Ambani led telco is expected to offer 100GB data per month in almost all of its plans.
