Though the broadband service is said to be free of cost for 90 days, the connection is likely to require a one-time refundable installation amount of Rs. 4,500. Users need to pay this amount in order to avail the JioFober service. Once the users decide to discontinue the service, they will get the amount refunded.

Ongoing trials

We are yet to know the exact launch date of the JioFiber. As of now, the company is testing the JioFiber by offering connections to the employees of the company and select users. It is claimed that the JioFiber service is in trials in a few cities across the country. Notably, Jio 4G too underwent similar trials for over six months before being introduced to the users in September 2016.

Competition to get intense

It is not only Jio that is working on fiber internet connection but also Airtel, which is the market leader in the broadband segment. Airtel is pushing the high-speed internet connection service to a great level to pose a tough challenge to Jio, We can expect a major transition hitting the country's broadband segment that has been highly neglected for many years.
