JioFiber set-top box users are now getting double the data than what was being offered earlier. Reliance Jio, taking into account the fact that its consumers would require more data to work from home as well as for entertainment purposes under the 21 days Coronavirus lockdown period, announced this decision earlier this week.
“To ensure that everyone stays connected while at home, Jio will provide Basic JioFiber broadband connectivity (10 Mbps), wherever it is geographically feasible, without any service charges, for this period. Jio will also provide home gateway routers with a minimum refundable deposit. For all existing JioFiber subscribers, Jio will provide double data across all plans,” said a statement from the company.
The JioFiber website has been updated and displays what is currently being offered under the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, and Titanium plans.
