Anybody know why Hyderabad gets the best internet plans in India?
Well put 👍Infrastructure needs maintenance. With these plans they might hold some of the preview customers but getting new customers will be pretty slow, since they expect people to signup for a complete eco system which is not ready. After 3-4 years maintenance cost will start to kick in.
While making these plans they must have had a goal to get some X customers in next 2 years. If they can't achieve this goal they lower the cost of plans.
Considering PAN india FTTH network that X has to be pretty big to cover all the cost. They must have a pretty good market research team. Considering 3.7 Lakh crore investment by RIL 4G service will take ages to cover that. They need Fiber revenue to kick in. If you have seen all those E commerce and home shopping expect people to use
So i'm sure we will get better offerings unless everyone suddenly becomes rich.
Most Underrated comment of this thread.. 🤔🤔Hyderabadi Biryani.
JIO subscriber, in residential segment, at present will be served voice and data with DWDM(Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) converting these services from Optical to Elecctrical at the ONU and distributed inside house either on CAT5/7 with RJ-11 or RJ-45. OTT, or time deferred video, will be available on desk top or lap top through data cable or on wi-fi. Real time video broadcast is not integrated as yet. It will be possible to connect their STB to a 75 ohms coaxial cable which will convert QAM to IP and enable viewing of real time video broadcasts. Thus, subscriber would be enabled 3Play, as JIO subscriber to be owned by JIO.
Anyone having technical knowledge plss explain this in layman terms ..
Distribution is a big overhead........ Equipment, space and manpower........ I do not think with prevalent prices i.e. 50Mbps Unltd@Rs.500/-.... Jio is going to invest in that.....
Jio working through LCO....... And people have high hopes......
Jio Gigfiber will be real test for Ambani's..... it will be not as easy as 4G Mobile network...... Now they have to do real ground level work to maintain the service. and there will be literally cut throat competition...... Cable cutting and all kinds of under arm tactics. and I have doubts Ambani's may not do that well. Ambani succeed by their Political clout and wherever there is hardwork & little profit they chicken out i.e. Airport Express line. Most probably they will not take LCO route and on their own, it will be very expensive to have dedicated service team for each area. And if they officially go for Triple Play..... then service and customer care overhead will be much more..... It will be interesting to watch how things unfold. Nevertheless it will be beneficial for people whether they choose Jio or not....
I don't care about their internet nor their TV stb.... Delhi has lot & lots of good ISP's and LCO's... Jio gigafiber has no value in Delhi. My only apprehension is that they will kill Thop/ Oreo etc..... after commercial launch. The other good thing is that Jio is responsible for bringing the mobile data revolution, in turn keeping all the players in toes... to keep prices in check as well as bringing the latest technology.
This time.... it will be reality check for Jio........ Triple play will not be piece of cake........ Airtel definitely has upper hand...... Jio will never be able to match Quality of Service through LCO....... and not only that....... if in LCO mode........ these small players like Excitel etc...and other regional players will be a nightmare for Jio, unless he buys them out or any other underarm tactics..... @700/- Jio will not able to sell in cities where other local players are active....... I will not buy Jio even @400/-....... I will preferably pay @500 to local player because of the stats/ restrictions/ feedback which are given by gigafiber preview user......
Well...... we all need to be realistic..... those MTNL days.... they were earning money.... that is why, they could afford stealing/ losses...... there were just 2 players MTNL & Airtel.... they were doing business on their own terms....... That is not the case now..... Jio might get the best equipment but they need huge manpower for installations/ maintenance & customer service..... and here they will get a setback.... LCO would not offer services for free...... Jio would never hire paid executives for this... which would ultimately result in deficiency of service and a substandard experience..... And talking about the deep pockets of Jio & Airtel....... rest assured, nothing will be free..... Are they offering free telephone instruments? They are offering free calls just because there is no additional cost to them.
