So I am a long-time user of Airtel, most recently using their VFiber 24 Mbps plan for ~300 GBs paying around 1100 post taxes. Got the call for Jio since I had signed up on their site long back, and they had put the wires under the road sometime last year. Here is my experience:
The speed tests are below. This is quite good for me considering I am coming from 24 Mbps down. Upload speeds are meh, but I don't need them much anyways so it is fine.
So, ending with some good things:
If anyone wants me to do some speed/ping tests to servers, can help 🙂
Thanks!
- Got the call on Saturday. Asked the salesman to visit once, he came in ~15m. Showed me their box and explained the plans. I booked it there and then, paid online for the Bronze Plan + Tax + 2,500 (1,000 is the security iirc, rest was installation).
- Technicians came today and installed, took them about ~2 hours since I'm on the 1st floor. Probably the most chill experience I had with any sort of wire installations. The chaps were friendly too, explained everything I asked.

So, ending with some good things:
- Prepaid connection is nice. Can choose not to pay for a month if I want to.
- Speeds are nice, and no uptime till now. Though it is too early to say.
- Price is better than Airtel anyday.
- Range of the 5 Ghz band is quite decent
- They carried 2 wires (black and white) and offered to install the colour as per my preference! This was nice. According to them, both are same, but based on the colour of the customer's walls, they carry both options to let the customer choose.
- I'm reading on the forum that I may not be able to attach my own router in the future. Strange. Might do a AP mode then if allowed.
