According to The Huffington post, average broadband speed in India is just 3.5 Mbps which is insanely low considering the current government’s plan to digitise the government. For a country comprising largely of youths, this speed looks dismal. Reliance Jio, which has already started an internet and telecom revolution is out again to deliver its promise of yet unrealized telco revolution with the introduction of high-speed fiber-based Broadband service in the city of Mumbai. The Jio Fiber Service is said to deliver a speed of 100 Mbps, which seems a distant ray of hope considering the world renowned struggle of Indians with their internet speed. Reliance Jio created a stir in the Indian telecom industry with its free inaugural offers is all set to do it again, this time Mukesh Ambani-owned Jio will offer three months’ free subscriptions to Jio Fiber Service. According to India Today, Reliance Jio has already started its broadband services in some high rises of Mumbai. The subscription is yet restricted because the cable installation required to cover the whole city under its ambit is yet to be done. Here's some information about the FTTH:
According to a resident on Walkeshwar Road of Mumbai, he and some other residents of his building are enjoying a speed ranging from 70 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Last year during its AGM meeting Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of the Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. revealed his plans to not limit the revolution started by Jio to smartphones, but to extend it to offices and home based users seeking for High-Speed broadband plans and to deliver the promises made to its shareholders Jio has now unveiled its Fiber to the home (FTTH) based Broadband Service. The initial phase of the rollout will soon be available in metro cities like Delhi, Chennai, and Pune and is expected to begin very soon.
The Reliance Jio Fiber also offers a plan which can deliver speed up to 1 Gbps. Reliance Jio has stated that it will soon roll out the Jio Fiber to 100 Indian cities. They named it Jio GigaFiber. Here's the screenshot of the speedtest:
