“JioFiber is expected to initially launch in nine cities across the country”
It appears that Reliance Jio is all set to commercially roll out its JioFiber FTTH (fiber to the home) broadband service. The company has been testing the service in select cities for a few months now. Now ahead of the launch, details of the JioFiber preview offer have been accidentally posted on the company’s website. We managed to take some screenshots of the website before it was pulled down.
As per the website, the JioFiber preview offer will include a 100Mbps connection for three months. While the service is free, there is a security deposit of Rs 4,500, which users can get refunded if they don't want to continue after the preview period. Users will get 100GB of data per month at 100Mbps, and the speed will be reduced to 1Mbps after the data cap has been crossed.
As per the website, the JioFiber service will initially be launched in nine cities - Ahmedabad, Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, and Vishakhapatnam. It appears that the company has already indexed various apartments and complexes in these cities, as selecting the PIN code revealed these details.
Since the information was posted on the website, we expect Jio to officially announce it soon. The company is expected to launch the preview offer at its upcoming AGM meeting on July 21st, so watch this space for more updates.
