Here's how to apply for a Reliance Jio Fiber connection
Reliance's much-awaited broadband service, Jio Fiber, has been commercially launched in India. The FTTH service comes with plans starting at just Rs. 699 and promises to offer upto 1Gbps speed along with a host of other services like free voice calling, gaming, and entertainment. So, if you are looking to get a Reliance Jio Fiber connection, here's how you can get started.
The registrations for Jio Fiber (earlier known as Jio GigaFiber) started in August last year and the company has already received 1.5 crore requests. Notably, as part of the initial roll-out, Reliance Jio is planning to go big with an aim to reach as many as 2 crore residences and 1.5 crore businesses across 1,600 towns in the county.
Now, in order to apply for a connection, head to the Jio Fiber webpage and click on the "Get Started" button under "Get a new JioFiber connection". You'll be asked to enter your home/business address and other credentials including phone number. You will have to send the OTP, and upon confirmation, your request will be completed.
