Wonder if current jiofiber plans can be downgraded? What do you guys think? Anyone got any insider information?

10mbps Backup plan at Rs 1,490 +GST =  Rs1758.2

 - 5 month-service (Rs 990) +GST

 - installation charges (Rs 500) +GST

* 99 +GST to book backup plan at jiostore

Entertainment Upgrade at Rs 500 +GST = Rs 590

- Rs 100 / Rs 200 per month for 5 months +GST

> No assurance that plans will not get discontinued in future . Then why paying installation charges. Stick to your existing ISP. 

> Ideal for existing jiofibre users to downgrade if you are okay with low speed.

Just checked my Internet speed on internet and it shows it between 5-8 Mbps. I am using Airtel 4g sim. I use it as a hotspot for wfh and it sometimes struggles. Should I buy this fiber plan?

Aitel LTE has many speed issues. Is that LTE or LTE-CA? In my experience, for normal LTE speed Vi>Jio>Airtel and for LTE-CA speed Jio>Vi>Airtel.
Also, mobile data is not unlimited, so if you are planning to stay at same residence for net 1 yr, then its definitely better to shift to this plan.

Not much point comparing cheap 100mbps plans of local ISPs/small players(like excitel/asianet etc) with big ones like airtel & jio because the cheap planes come with their own cons like usually slow speeds during peak hours(evenings or weekends) & torrents issues/slow download from foreign servers(majority of popular websites/streaming sites/file hosting sites located in US & EU)/slow pings etc.

Most streaming platforms in India don't seem to employ very high bitrates. So this easily should suffice for 1080p streaming. Personally this plan is well suited to our purpose of connecting the CCTV to internet in the premises we have rented out.

Beware of taking Jio set top box for watching live channels or OTT content. Even after taking Rs.200 per month for OTT subscription, Jio is unethically insertimg its own ads while switching channels, watching live TV or even while watching OTT content. And there is no way to skip Jio inserted ads. Very frustrating to watch live channels or OTT content on jio fiber.

Jio set up box is not good. Brightness low and not so smooth. Airtel xstream box is really good.

Like jio trying to get more customers. Once small operators are left. They will double the prices.

So many people are complaining 10 MBPS is too slow! Internet speeds in MBPS is a bit like camera resolution in MP (megapixels). It matters but is not directly proportional to the acrual quality/experience. There's something called latency and obviously stability too. I'm in IT and I've found even a 2MBPS MTNL connection rather good for working on a remote desktop (VDI) even with another household member on a Zoom or streaming 720p video. It is in the interest of Jio and Airtel to tell you to use a higher plan if you are going to use many devices. Don't trust them. First take the cheapest plan, try some patience, and see if it works. Then upgrade one step at a time. If you are too rich then you wouldn't be on DD and if you are being reimbursed for your Internet don't waste your time reading this.

Nothing so far. I don't think this plan will be available to existing subscribers.

So the benefit is for postpaid users, then why charging installation charges...just do the math brother it's almost same you'll have to pay ₹1,668 and will get 5 months of 10mbps internet, so it's ₹333/month

And before we were getting 1 month free on 6 month plan without any installation charges, so that's summed up to ₹402/month

Saving of ₹70 for less speed doesn't seems fair compromise.

This is killer move. Will shake dth and cable tv market.

Biggest hurdle..., It's wired connection so available at very few places. I had to opt for bsnl fiber and fought like hell to get free installation done since jio fiber and airtel, both aren't available at my location, which is kind of heart of the city.

Airtel, jio target big societies, townships so they get 100s of customers with minimal efforts.

Masterstroke by Ambani's.

With ruling party in pocket, it will rule the market like jio cellular service.

Airtel, dish tv, tata sky will be like...
