Jio Fiber announced a series of new broadband plans on Monday and reviewed some of the existing options. Jio Fiber’s monthly plans now start from Rs. 399 with Internet speed of 30 Mbps. The company also offers other options that provide speeds of up to 1 Gbps with unlimited voice calls and access to up to 12 streaming services. The revision of the plan appears to have been introduced to make the service more affordable. If you’re wondering exactly how the new plans differ from previous Jio Fiber offerings, we’re here to help.
As mentioned, the new Jio Fiber plans, updated on the official website, now start at Rs. 399 and include six other price points: Rs. 699, Rs. 999, Rs. 1,499, Rs. 2,499, Rs. 3,499 and Rs. 8,499. The Rs. The 399 plan is new as Jio Fiber previously started at Rs. 699.
The biggest change, apart from the new base plan, is that all plans now get symmetric speed, which means that the download speed will be equal to the upload speed. Previously, Jio Fiber only used to provide 10 percent of the plan speed for uploads. Additionally, Netflix is a new addition to the streaming app portfolio that Jio Fiber offers free access to with select plans. Also, Jio claims to offer truly unlimited internet with Rs. 1,499 and lower-priced plans; however, there is a 3300GB FUP, after which your internet speed may drop or the connection may be interrupted for abuse.
Jio Fiber: New Plans vs. Old Plans
The Rs. The 399 plan is the new Jio Fiber Bronze plan and comes with 30Mbps speeds with unlimited voice calls, but the plan does not include any streaming app subscriptions.
The new Rs. The 699 Jio Fiber plan is now called the “Silver plan” and it is losing access to streaming apps like JioCinema and JioSaavn three times. Other benefits are pretty much the same as before and it comes with a speed of 100 Mbps.
The next plan in the series, called the Jio Fiber Gold plan, costs Rs. 999 and offers speeds of 150 Mbps with subscriptions to 11 streaming apps from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + Hotstar, Zee5, SonyLIV, Voot, JioCinema, SunNXT, ShemarooMe, Lionsgate Play, HoiChoi, and ALTBalaji. It’s unclear which of these apps will be missing, but Netflix is likely to be a new addition to the Jio Fiber service as well. As Jio Fiber pointed out, the value of these subscriptions is Rs. 1,100 every month. Previously, the company offered Rs. 849 which was known as the Silver plan and had speeds of 100 Mbps and allowed streaming applications to be accessed only three times. It comes with a FUP limit of 800GB.
Reliance Jio Fiber has three more plans: Rs. 2,499, Rs. 3,499 and Rs. 8,499. The Rs. The 2,499 plan is now called Diamond +, instead of Diamond, and offers 500Mbps speeds up to 4,000GB and access to all 12 streaming apps.
