Now that the Telecom plan prices have been hiked by approx 20% and some plans by Vi with 4 GB / day plan discontinued, do you feel a Fibre optic net connection seems more economical/ makes sense now for your internet consumption needs?

Hope your phone has WiFi calling feature to maximize the benefits
main problem is if we go for fibre connection, then mobile data gets waste, and if we use mobile data then whats the use of getting fiber connection?
1) GB limit: 3000+ GB
2) Very low ping. Great for online gaming and Video Conference.
3) Absolutely necessary for those who upload lots data online. Whether it’s YouTube content upload or File backup or CC TV footage backup.
3) watching hours of 4k content anytime on TV
4) If your phone has WiFi calling feature and your Telecom network ( Jio, Airtel, Vi) reception not good you can connect to a good WiFi connection to make calls. Call data packets which would be routed through internet connection to Telecom packet switched network.
Any wired broadband from a good ISP is not even comparable with any 3G/4G stuff. Yet Indian public keep comparing the two. Broadband is for those who seek quality internet, how internet is meant to be really. Mobile data is for those who prefer to be sought by social media part of internet.
Please stop comparing the two once and for all
I know comparing them would be like comparing Apples apple🍎 and 🍊 oranges … But essentially both are common fruit.
I disagree with your argument that broadband/ fiber is “what’s internet meant to be”
It everything depends on individual usage scenario.
And quality differences between mobile data and broadband/Fibre is narrowing with time and improvements in technology.
Biggest advantage of mobile data is …. well it’s mobility. And Speed and low latency is advantage of Wired connection.
A e-bikes is not comparable to a motor bike but if petrol prices become too high and e-bikes get heavily subsided lots of people would switch to e-bikes. That’s basic market dynamics.
By E-bikes I meant electric bicycles
Both Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber show coming soon when I place a request.
Is there any way to get that faster? I have been trying to get both for quite some time now.
Please share how to get that connection.
Fiber connection = HIT
Mobile Data = FLOP
When it comes to choice / option.
When it comes to portable net connection , then we have to stick with mobile data / 4G etc .
Good job, Over simplified in a nutshell. 
for chewing up massive amount of data no way is mobile internet good enough. fiber is the only way. my monthly usage alone(excluding family) is in the ballpark of 750gb-1tb. also without fiber my brother can’t continue his work from home coz he downloads databases worth 40-50gb daily. btw his firm pays for the monthly fiber bill since that is a work expense so that is cool too. also calls are free.
for downloading random docs and downloading ticket on a train or ordering a meal mobile data is fine but for massive consumption it is not. however i do know people in good cities watching online lectures in 480p on 4g.
Always been on wired internet connection since dialup days. I hardly use mobile data. Need plans with calling and sms only. But with no choice left I have been recharging with the long term UL calls with that 24GB for 365 days plan.
The question should be : Are you more interested in a Fibre connection after 20 percent price hike for both the Mobile plan and Fibre connection ?
Now THEY have raised price for mobile connection next up it’s fibre … one point in future very soon even fiber connection will not seem profitable to THEM and in the name of ARPU they are going to do it ie hike the price as always.
I know it’s a matter of time before Fibre plan prices are also hiked by 20%… But I feel we’re still atleast 1 years away from that scenario. Until their new user acquisition rate reaches a critical mass.
“Enjoy it till it lasts”
if there are 2 or more users in home which is common nowdays then now its high time to get fibre/broadband in place of paying heavy amounts for mobile data
Better to take…voda 699 postpaid…or bsnl 398 ul plan….voda easily gives upto 40 Mbps at most of places…and Bsnl gives around 8-10 Mbps if you have Hspa+ in your area…mobile internet gives flexibility in mobility…you will be able to do everything in one bill…in broadband you pay for the broadband bill as well as mobile bill …
As you need mobile mostly for calling…in voda/airtel and new bsnl sims..if you don’t recharge…you won’t even get the incoming…
I agree with your logic… but Vi plan prices already increased.
Both have different pros and cons.
Mobile network is not good at my home so I have no options to have Fiber connection.. irrespective of which one is cheaper / costlier
