New JioFiber Plans: Unlimited internet, OTT apps on offer

Starting September 1, new JioFiber customers will be allowed a 30-day trial of the service - with unlimited 150Mbps internet, free calling, 4K set-top box, and 10 OTT app subscriptions.

The offering is free, but users will have to submit a refundable amount for this connection: Rs. 1,500 for broadband and calling or Rs. 2,500 for broadband, calling, set-top box, OTT services.

Post-trial, the service can be continued or disconnected according to the choice of the user.

In case you choose to discontinue, the company will simply oblige and remove the connection. No questions asked.

Also, it must be noted that those who activated their JioFiber connection between August 15 and 31 will be given a JioFiber voucher for the free one-month-trial.

Previously, JioFiber's monthly plans started at Rs. 699, but now that has changed to Rs. 399. This will get you 30Mbps of unlimited internet with voice calling to anywhere in India, but no OTT services.

The next one comes at Rs. 699, with the same benefits as the base plan but a higher speed of 100Mbps.

In addition to the base plans, JioFiber services will also come at Rs. 999, Rs. 1,499, Rs. 2,499, and Rs. 3,499 per month.

The Rs. 999 plan will get you 150Mbps unlimited internet; the Rs. 1,499 plan will bring a 300Mbps fiber connection; the Rs. 2,499 will get a 500Mbps connection; and Rs. 3,499 will get a 1Gbps connection.

While all the plans promise high-speed unlimited internet, it must be noted that there will be a fair usage policy for each one of them. This means after crossing a certain threshold of data usage, the speed of the internet will reduce.

Additionally, Jio is promising asymmetric downloads and upload speeds, something it did not have on offer before.

All plans ranging between Rs. 999 and Rs. 3,499 will also have voice calling benefits, 4K set-top box, and 11 or 12 OTT apps (depending on the plan) as standard.

The OTT subscriptions included in the top-end plans will be of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, JioCinema, Zee5, SonyLIV, Voot, ALTBalaji, Sun NXT, Shemaroo, Lionsgate Play, and Hoichoi.
