Jiofiber Backup Plan Rs. 198 onwards

But we have 5G Unlimited as backup in case Home Fiber goes down 😆

If this happen everyone will downgrade

• This will help Jio capture low paying BB market share (from BSNL)
• People doing WFH will opt for backup connection .
• If JioFiber uptime looks promising to them, they will gradually opt Jiofiber as their primary internet connection.
• Revenue will increase drastically for Jio.

Unlikely, some categories that I can think of who wouldn't

1. WFH folks who are getting reimbursed.

2. Families (10mbps is just not enough imo)

3. Businesses 

and other categories, if any.

Only people who might downgrade would be single bachelors (not working) or professionals whose work doesn't demand an uninterrupted internet connection (mostly 9-5 office goers) who can make it work with mobile data but sometimes need fiber broadband during leisure times. But that's my opinion and it could be wrong.

Note that the backup plan is available for a minimum of five months. To get it, you will have to pay Rs 1490 (Rs 990 for five months and Rs 500 for installation). Even for the STB upgrade, you will have to pay Rs 500 or Rs 1000 altogether for five months, depending on the plan the user is choosing. Additional GST will be applicable on the bill.

For 10mbps very good. Actually per month to use for surfing and using for laptops for simple office work will be beneficial

Can new user take plan only for normal use ? I was to go for 399 plan but this is tempting.

Can existing jiofiber users get this plan or only way us to go for a new connection 

is this prepaid or postpaid there was nil installation earlier for postpaid

For a 5-month plan, you can pay Rs. 990 (Rs. 198 x 5) and Rs. 500 for installation to get JioFiber.

Besides that, you can also pay for a 1, 2 or 7 day pass to upgrade the speed to 30Mbps or 100Mbps. To get the set-top box and 6 or 14 OTT apps, you can make a payment of Rs. 100 or Rs. 200 per month.

JioFiber is also offering customers to upgrade to an STB (Set-Top Box). With Rs 100 per month entertainment upgrade, you can get free STB + 400 live TV channels + 6 OTT (over-the-top) apps + YouTube. With Rs 200 per month, you can get a free STB + 550 live TV channels + 14 OTT apps + YouTube.

Here’s how to get a new Jio Fiber Back Up connection:

1. Backup plan at Rs 1490 - 5 month-service (Rs 990) & installation charges (Rs 500)
2. Entertainment Upgrade at Rs 500 / 1,000 - Rs 100 / 200 per month for 5 months
3. GST applies
4. New JioFiber Back-Up Connection will be available starting 30th March 2023
5. To book a new connection
o Give a missed call on 60008 60008
o Visit jio.com/fiber
o Visit the nearest Jio retailer and book a back-up connection @ Rs 99

local cable fellows are the worst in offering new packages online payments 

they just force the highest package 😡

Is this 198 plan prepaid or postpaid?

@desiman

this is a long-term loss don't focus on short-term gains 

wired internet is going to get cheap over time if the market share goes to jio prices will hike for no reason you will pay less now but later on, you will not have any choice 

stick to what you have currently the difference is only of 50 - 100 rs

So basically jio 4g but fiber edition 

This plan killing one. Taking on airtel to think another level. People will do recharge of 1 gb per day and opt for this plan for home use. Nice plan

Before going for Airtel, I visited BSNL to get a connection but they even don't took it seriously. After many visit they said that they don't give connection on my location. They never want to work.

BSNL deserve to be fully closed! Their sarkari employee totally responsible for this poor condition of the company.

with speed of 10 Mbps  i dont think you will be able to enjoy anything without buffering or it might only work with 480p smoothly

Prepaid or Postpaid connection? any information?
