Jio Fiber new plans start at Rs 399; 30-day free trial offer introduced

Highlights
  • The new Jio Fiber plans start at Rs 399 but the base plan doesn’t include access to OTT apps
  • Jio isn’t discontinuing old plans at the moment and all the existing subscribers can move to a new plan
  • All new Jio Fiber connections from September 1st will get the 30-day free trial period

JioFiber broadband plans in India have been revamped by the Mukesh Ambani-backed company and also announced a new ’30-day free trial’ promotional offer. The new plans come across as a move to attract new users in the country to tackle the competition. Jio says the new plans will have symmetric speed, meaning the download and upload speed will be the same. This is a good change considering Jio was reportedly capping upload speed to just one-tenth of download speed. Though Jio says the revamped plans are truly unlimited, there might be fair usage policy (FUP) cap and the company is yet to announce those details.
