Reliance Jio GigaFiber To Give 100 GB Free Data Per Month For One Year Along With DTH, Landline

Customers will soon be able to avail a combo pack offering broadband, landline and TV services from Reliance Jio GigaFiber at a price of Rs 600, reports Mint. The package may also include additional services such as gaming and smart home systems.

Presently, the company is testing out its GigaFiber service in parts of New Delhi and Mumbai, offering data of 100 gigabytes (GB) at the speed of 100 megabytes per second (Mbps) for free. The only associated cost is the one-time router deposit, standing at Rs 4,500.

Television and telephone services will be rolled out on top of this within the coming three months, and this offering of three services will remain free for around a year.

The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) router powering these services will be able to handle connections to 40-45 different devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets and other smart devices.

“While the triple combo—which will offer 600 channels with seven-day catch-up option, landline and 100 Mbps broadband—will be priced ₹600 a month, the tariff for adding other smart home services may cost extra and depending on the plan, the tariff could go up to Rs 1,000 a month," said a person aware of the matter.

Previously, at Reliance Jio’s annual general meeting, Mukesh Ambani had announced that GigaFiber’s rollout would be the largest such rollout of a greenfield fixed-line broadband network in the world, as it would be simultaneously opened up to the public in 1,100 cities across India.
