<ul><li>Jio Fiber will be introducing broadband plans at ₹700 with a minimum speed of 100 mbps today.</li><li>Bharti Airtel is planning to launch its own Android-based set top box with integrated services to counter Jio’s bundling.</li><li>Hathaway is already offering 100 mbps at ₹699 per month — but users have to buy in for at least three months.</li></ul>Mukesh Ambani has done it again. Three years after he launched Jio at no cost for three months, he is heralding a new age of broadband with the promise of high speeds at <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/details-of-jio-fibre-new-tariff-plan/articleshow/70639942.cms">rock-bottom prices</a>. So much so, before the launch of Reliance Jio today, his competitor Bharti Airtel launched a new set of plans to brace against the onslaught. At Reliance Industries’ <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/reliance-jio-fired-up-as-mukesh-ambani-joins-hands-with-satya-nadellas-microsoft-to-challenge-jeff-bezos-in-india/articleshow/70641754.cms">annual general meeting</a>, Ambani promised a minimum speed of 100 mbps for Jio Fiber. He also said that his plans will start at ₹700 per month. Hathaway isn’t going to be left behind. The company’s new ‘Freedom Plan’ offers 100 mbps at ₹699 per month with a data cap of 1 TB. But, here’s what most people don’t know — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/the-difference-between-mukesh-ambanis-jio-and-ani-ambanis-reliance-communications/articleshow/70869465.cms">Reliance Jio</a> owns 51.3% stake in Hathaway. Offering plans and tariffs at par with what Jio has to offer will only helping Reliance’s broadband with its last-mile connectivity, and help Ambani mop up the market at various price points. Airtel, on the other hand, is scrambling to get to take Jio by launching a customised Android-based set-top box in September, according to the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/airtel-readies-value-rich-plan-to-chase-high-paying-users/articleshow/70692935.cms">Economic Times</a>. It wants to rival Jio’s smart set-top box with integrated access to streaming portals, virtual reality applications and interactive gaming.

One way is by introducing a plan that’s offering half the speed at half the price. For users who feel like they don’t really need 100 mbps can opt for a 50 mbps plan at ₹399 without limits on data consumption. Hathaway’s also offering 150 mbps plans at ₹1,499 per month with a data cap of 1TB. The only catch is that Hathaway requires a minimum three-month subscription in other for users to sign up for its services. Airtel’s plans are pricier but allows you to carry forward data Airtel also has a broadband plan for ₹799 a month but it offers speeds of 40 mbps with data capped at 100GB. Airtel’s V-Fiber broadband is offering another 200GB of additional data for a span of six months within that plan — but it’s a mere fraction of what Jio and Hathaway have up for grabs. Airtel could have a leg up on Jio, depending on the conditions of plans, since it allows users to carry forward any unused data. If you’re looking for speed, Airtel’s 100 mbps plan costs ₹1099 per month with a data cap of 500GB and an additional 300GB for six months. The devil could be in the terms and conditions Jio hasn’t completely disclosed the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/what-are-the-rules-to-apply-for-jio-fiber/articleshow/70891242.cms">details</a> of its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/how-to-get-jio-fiber-broadband-service/articleshow/70821752.cms">broadband plans</a> and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/how-reliance-jio-gigafiber-broadband-will-work/articleshow/70821794.cms">many conditions</a> that it could come with. It will have to rival Airtel’s 300 mbps plan pegged at ₹1599 per month that’s offering 600 GB and an addition 1TB for six months. Ambani did disclose that Jio Fiber’s plans, while starting at ₹700, will have options that extend to up to ₹10,000 per month. But, Jio also intends to lock in users with annual plans, and this offer might only be available for a ‘limited’ period. To connect to the services, Jio users will need to make security deposit of ₹4,500 and obtain the ONT device (GigaHub Home Gateway) provided by the company. Those looking to switch internet services should also study the ability of their provider to offer top-notch service, which is essential for broadband services. At the end of the day, it would be bold to replace television with broadband as it all hinges on speed and quality.

Airtel and Hathway’s broadband plans are gearing up for Jio Fiber’s salvo

<ul><li>JioFiber just launched in India offering speeds of 100 mbps at ₹700. </li><li>Jio’s plans may be cheaper than Airtel but the data usage is more limited. </li><li>Jio’s plans extend up to 1 gbps where Airtel’s fastest plan is 300 mbps and Hathaway’s is capped at 150 mbps. </li></ul>Mukesh Ambani’s new broadband service, JioFiber, just launched in India with plans starting at ₹700 and offering speeds of at least 100 mbps. Jio will be taking on Airtel’s V-Fiber Broadband, Hathaway — in which it has 51.3% stake — and other players in the broadband space. Jio’s divided its subscription plan into <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/reliance-jiofiber-plan-details-speeds-data-limits-and-freebies/articleshow/70996747.cms">six tiers</a> — bronze, silver, gold, diamond, platinum and titanium. In comparison, Airtel’s plans are definitely pricier but their data limits are higher — which means heavy users can browse more at higher speeds without worrying about fair usage policies or FUPs. FUPs basically are limits for data downloads, crossing which speeds of the said plans will fall drastically. This is true even with unlimited plans, where operators believe that users tend to leave devices open and unattended when a plan is offered without limits. Higher speeds but less data Jio’s bronze, silver and gold subscription plans come bundled with free voice calls, free TV calling and conferencing services. These plans also include a free subscription to the Jio Console — Jio’s multiplayer game streaming service that’s making its debut with the promise of zero latency. The welcome offer — valid for a limited period of time and subject to annual subscription only — is only offering a free three-month subscription to JioCinema and JioSaavn for the bronze plan users. Even the silver plan is limited to a three month subscription but will include other streaming platforms, yet to be disclosed. Airtel’s V-Fiber plans, on the other hand, come bundled with free subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Zee5 and Airtel Xstream as well as unlimited free calling within India. The bronze and silver plan both promise a speed of 100 mbps with a data cap of 150 GB and 400 GB, respectively. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width:

But here’s the kicker — Jio’s is the only broadband service provider offering speeds of 500 mbps and 1 gbps to non-business users. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">Plan Amount (Monthly) </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">Speed </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">Fair Usage Policy Limit </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">₹2,499 Diamond Plan </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">500 mbps </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">1500 GB </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">₹3,499 Platinum Plan </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">1 Gbps </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">2500 GB </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">₹8,499 Titanium Plan </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">1 Gbps </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;">5000 GB </td></tr></tbody></table> The plans are not inclusive of Goods and Services Tax Welcome offer JioFiber’s launch comes bundled with a welcome offer that include a 4K television set and an HD 4K set top top as well — but only for users who commit to an annual subscription.

It will have integrated access to streaming portals, virtual reality applications and interactive gaming, according to the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/airtel-readies-value-rich-plan-to-chase-high-paying-users/articleshow/70692935.cms">Economic Times</a>. Terms and conditions While JioFiber’s prices may be cheaper than the competition it should be kept in mind that most of ‘freebies’ are only available to users who commit to an annual subscription. And, Hathaway’s plans get cheaper if you subscribe for longer periods from three months to six months. Airtel is relatively flexible by that measure, since users only need to sign up for a month at a time.

JioFiber’s plans look cheaper but Airtel is giving you more data

New Delhi, Jun 23 () A combination of factors, including a rise in realisation per user, good traction in broadband and enterprise offerings and its apps gaining scale, could drive Jio Platforms' "bull-case" valuation to USD 110 billion over coming years, BofA Securities said on Tuesday. After Facebook's 10 per cent stake in Jio Platforms Ltd (JPL), nine PE firms bought 15 per cent stake in JPL valuing it at USD 66 billion. "In our JPL bull-case valuation, when we model FY22 cellular ARPU (average revenue per user) of Rs 200 (current Rs 131), good traction in broadband/enterprise offerings and a few of Jio's apps gaining scale, we estimate a value of USD 110 billion, implying significant upside potential," BofA Securities said in its latest note. Connectivity business (that is mobile, broadband, and enterprise) will be the driver for the next five years, and after which, it will be services (ad, app subsciption, internet of things), it said. "Partnerships with Microsoft, FB should help JPL offer best tech offerings to users/SMEs. Debt concern is behind us with RIL raising USD 21 billion in less than 2 months (higher than the entire tech start-up industry raised in 2019)," it said. Outlining a "bull-case" scenario, the report said it expects Jio's ARPU to stabilise to Rs 250 (and not Rs 300) in the long run as it expects Jio to earn incremental revenues via ads and app subscriptions, among others. Further, with cellular investments behind, Jio is focusing on broadband roll-out and targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) where it could offer bundled pack with Microsoft. "Given Jio's focus on making services affordable, we estimate subscription to Jio's apps -- mainly entertainment (content/music/games), ed-tech and health-tech to be Rs 55-65/month vs industry norm of Rs 100-150. This might lead to better uptake of paid subs and we estimate Jio apps to contribute to USD 9.5 billion value," it said. Digital ads is also another revenue opportunity given its access eventually to 500 million mobiles, 20 million broadband users, it said adding, "We model a modest market share of 6 per cent by FY22."

The Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance is paying ₹22.5 billion to take a 66% stake in DEN Networks, the country’s largest digital cable TV distribution company, and ₹29.5 billion for a 51% stake in Hathway Cable and Datacom, a cable TV and broadband services provider. The ₹52 billion investment is aimed at accelerating the rollout of Reliance’s high-speed JioGigaFiber internet broadband service - comprising home internet, streaming television, landline and gaming - to more than 1,000 cities across India using DEN and Hathway’s existing infrastructure. It will complement Reliance’s growing prominence in the mobile space through its Jio service. While the launch of JioGigaFiber was announced in July to great fanfare and a lot of signups, the service has been delayed owing to last mile connectivity issues and resistance from some local cable operators, who fear being priced out like Reliance’s rivals in the telecom space. The service, which will benefit from a tie-up with established internet service providers, is expected to be as much as 50% cheaper than current broadband rates - which will no doubt entice consumers. The acquisitions make sense for Hathaway and DEN in that it is better to partner with a dominance force than compete against it. In addition to helping them deleverage their balance sheets, they will now have access to Reliance’s war-chest of technology, funds and resources to expand their offerings. For cable companies, “fiberising” their services is time and capital-intensive. The announcement preceded the <a href="http://www.ril.com/getattachment/4ea64bd8-e6e4-42d9-8d33-9dc9c2e14bd4/Q2-(FY-2018-19)-Financial-and-Operational-Performa.aspx">release</a> of Reliance Industries’ results for the quarter ended September 30th. The conglomerate posted its largest ever profit for the July-September period at ₹95.2 billion, a 17% rise from last year, owing to the continued strength of Jio. The mobile service, which added 37 million customers over the period, made a profit of ₹6.7 billion as opposed to a ₹2.7 billion loss in the year-ago quarter.

<keyword id="3690255" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="jiofiber" source="Orion">JioFiber</keyword> added 0.19 million subscribers to become the number 1 operator in the fixed broadband segment in just about two years from commercial launch, with 4.34mn FBB subs. JioFiber's market share improved 85bp month on month to 16.9 per cent (launched commercially in Sep-19), Nomura said in a report. Bharti added 0.1mn subs to reach 4.08mn FBB subs (up 68% since May-20), with market share up 60bp m-m to 15.9 per cent. <keyword id="57998" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharat-sanchar-nigam-limited" source="Orion">Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited</keyword>'s (BSNL) market share further declined by 185 bp to 16.4 per cent share (vs 44 per cent pre-JioFiber launch in September'19), the report said. Without significant fund-raising, Vodafone Idea's network investments and 5G rollout would likely remain constrained, at least in the near term. Hence, we expect market share gains to continue for Bharti and R-Jio, the report said. TRAI data for November shows a slight improvement in industry numbers, with Jio gaining market share at the expense of VIL, UBS said in a report. After a large decline in September (driven by the 19mn subscriber loss reported by Jio) and flattish numbers in October, the industry witnessed a slight improvement in November, with overall subscriber base expanding by 1.2mn. Bharti gained 1.3mn subs (-0.5mn in Oct), Jio added 2mn subs (+1.8mn in Oct), while VIL continued to lose market share: it lost 1.9mn subs (versus loss of 1mn and 1.1mn in Oct and Sept respectively). Jio remains the market leader, with a subscriber market share (SMS) of 36.7 per cent (+10bps). Bharti and VIL ended Nov with SMS of 30.4 per cent (flat MoM) and 22.9 per cent (down 20bps) respectively. It is important to note that the tariff hikes were largely applicable from end-November / December, and therefore, December is likely to see some churn, UBS said. In fixed broadband, Jio surpassed BSNL to become the country's largest FBB provider. Jio now has 4.3mn FBB subs (+0.2mn in Nov), followed by BSNL with 4.2mn subs (-0.5mn in Nov) and Airtel with 4.1mn subs (+0.1mn in Nov).

But, at the same time, there are options available to users looking for higher monthly data limits — provided they shell out the extra money. ACT Fibernet's 100 mbps plan is 37% more expensive than Jio Fiber, but it also offers 25% more data per month. Spectra, an internet service provider operating mostly in Delhi, is nearly twice as expensive but puts no limits on how much data a user can consume in a month. But, as speeds get faster the disparity between Jio and its competitors starts to decrease.

The only difference is that Jio Fiber has set its data limit at 2,500 GB, where Airtel claims its placing no such restriction on consumption. ACT Fibernet, even ₹2,000 more expensive than Jio Fiber, is offering at extra 1,000 GB per month to its users. The increase in cost isn't proportional to the extra data but could make sense for users that have higher consumption requirements. Spectra's pricing of its 1 gbps plan goes in the other direction. It only offers 500 GB per month but it's also less than half the price of Jio Fiber's Platinum plan at ₹1,549.

Jio Fiber Plans: Here's how Reliance Jio's broadband fiber plans fare against other companies

Reliance Industries has announced that Jio GigaFiber plans will be made available to the users under two options: prepaid as well as postpaid. The network service provider will launch <keyword id="6354504" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-jio">Reliance Jio</keyword> GigaFiber which will provide broadband services at the speed of 100 mbps. The plan will also offer 600 TV channels and a landline connection as part of the package along with subscriptions to select OTT services. This way, this combo pack service bundles together landline, broadband and TV connections. The dead cheap pricing plans of the operator are expected to make Jio GigaFiber a clear disrupter of the market. Reliance <keyword id="6792948" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jio-GigaFiber-broadband">Jio GigaFiber broadband</keyword>, TV, landline combo plan Reliance Jio GigaFiber has stated that it will provide broadband at the speed of 100 megabytes per second (mbps) bundled with 600 TV channels and a landline connection. The cost of this combo offer will be priced at just Rs.700 per month. To connect to the services, the Jio users will need to make a security deposit of Rs. 4,500 and obtain the ONT device (GigaHub Home Gateway) provided by the company. In case the user wishes to discontinue the Jio GigaFiber services at any point, the deposit will be refunded.

How Reliance Jio Gigafiber broadband will work?

<ul><li>Reliance is set to launch Jio Gigafiber services and Jio Phone 3 on Monday. </li><li>Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani had announced the Jio Gigafiber services during the company’s AGM last year. </li><li>The service with its low tariffs is set to be a big gamechanger in the Indian broadband space.</li></ul>Reliance is reportedly set to launch the much talked about Jio Gigafiber services and the Jio Phone 3 on Monday during the company’s Annual General Meeting. Jio Gigafiber has been the talk of the town since Mukesh Ambani had announced it in the last AGM held last year. What it offers Gigafiber is a mega package offered by Jio, which will offer broadband, TV and fixed landline plans. But it’s not going to be an ordinary plan. Gigafiber is <a href="https://www.livemint.com/industry/telecom/reliance-jio-gigafiber-rollout-jio-phone-3-expected-as-ril-holds-agm-tomorrow-1565503217806.html">reportedly</a> set to offer broadband services at 1 gigabytes per second (GBPS) speed, 600 TV channels and a landline connection – all of this at just ₹600 per month. This will put Jio in direct competition with ACT broadband services, one of the most popular options in India right now. ACT, which is currently India’s largest fiber-based service provider, is also planning a ₹800 crore IPO soon. Jio Phone 3 The AGM is also set to see the launch of Jio Phone 3. The previous two models which were priced at ₹1,500 and ₹2,999 have already been a big hit in the market, for giving smartphone features to a user at the most basic price. Jio Phone 3 is expected to take the features up a notch at an equally affordable price. Can Gigafiber do a Jio? The launch of Gigafiber will be a big boom in the Indian broadband industry because of lower tariffs and higher internet speeds. It is expected to have the same impact that Jio did when it launched. Jio, with its low tariff and faster internet speeds, has seen it become India’s second largest telecom provider within 3 years of its launch.

</td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody></table> It is worth noting that while both JioFiber and Airtel promise to offer “unlimited” high-speed data, the maximum limit per month is capped at 3,300GB and 3,333GB respectively. ACT Fibernet has limits starting at 500GB, going all the way up to 6,000GB. Also, the plans offered by Airtel and ACT Fibernet may vary based on region. JioFiber offers the same plans all over India. JioFiber additional benefits The broadband plans from Reliance Jio come with unlimited voice calling and users can avail one-month free trial. Additionally, <keyword id="4871435" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="JioFiber-plans" source="Orion">JioFiber plans</keyword> starting at ₹999 come with a complimentary OTT subscription. The company’s ₹999 plan offers a free subscription to 11 OTT platforms, including Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLiv, JioCinema and more. The company’s ₹1,499 and above plans come with free access to 12 OTT platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar. Airtel Xstream Fiber additional benefits Airtel subscribers get the Xstream 4K Android Box free and a landline that offers unlimited voice calling with its plans. Additionally, users who subscribe to the ₹999 and above plans will also get complimentary access to Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and ZEE5. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Which broadband plan should you choose?" comment="subhead" text="Which broadband plan should you choose?">Which broadband plan should you choose?</cmsannotation> Now that you have seen the plans available from Airtel and Reliance Jio, you may be confused about which plan should you go with. Let’s take a look at some of the use cases and the recommended plans. Students If you are a student and need broadband internet at home for attending and streaming classes, you can go with plans that offer 500GB-1,000GB data per month. If affordability is important, then Airtel and ACT Fibernet both offer plans starting at ₹500 per month. Working from home If you are working from home, you will want to invest in a broadband plan with decent internet speeds and data allowance. Since both JioFiber and Airtel offer more than 3,000GB data per month across all their plans, you can consider their plans starting at ₹700 per month. Alternatively, ACT Fibernet’s ₹700 plan is also worth considering even though the limit is 1,000GB. Content streaming If you want to stream content like movies and shows, you will want to invest in plans that offer high speeds as well as adequate data. For this use case, you can consider JioFiber and Airtel’s plans starting at ₹700, but their 150-200Mbps plans are also relatively affordable. Likewise, ACT Fibernet’s ₹1,075 plan might make more sense since it offers 150Mbps speeds and 2,000GB data.
