The customer has physical control over the router. As I said before wrap the router in aluminum foil to block wifi and use own WAP/router.
To prevent data harvesting by Jio use a VPN.

Its not that hard to prevent being sucked into their ecosystem. For mobile data Airtel and VI still exist (even if VI goes bankrupt Airtel will likely remain), it is possible to buy subscriptions directly or pirate.

This isn't to say an average user would do this. But nerds like us may be more inclined to do so especially if they dont have a choice.

I don't know how BSNL even launched these plans. Their own regular employees don't want BSNL to survive. They just want to retire happily with constant source of income and don't want to do any work or help people.

This is the work of some higher level people. So, I am not sure if these plans would be continued.

Just registered for answering this question.
That plan(for example 799/- one) will be valid till 6 months from date of purchase of that plan. Like i get this plan on 5 dec 2020 then it will be valid till 5 june 2021. After that they will upgrade it to 849/- one.
Hope it helps and you got idea.

It is already the case. Jio and Airtel are the de facto primary choices for most people's SIM 1 and SIM 2, respectively.

Hey, Don't generalize...😂
I use VI and BSNL.
Both works great in my village. Way better than Airtel and Jio....
Maybe a niche...😝

It's so perfectly positioned, there isn't anything between 40mbps@499 and 100mbps@799 on any ISPs.

/rant begins
60mbps@599 is not just competitive I'd say it's the best right now considering we don't get Jio's locked modem bs, mesh networking hidden wifi bs, potential tracking/throttling (twitch)/dpi bs.

We get public IPs with open modems, no port restrictions, no dpi (unless it's going through Airtel transit), 3.3tb at 60mbps sans terrible routing for some of us.

From a govt isp whose sole purpose isn't to take over the entire country or bleed out competitors.

I'd still thank Jio for starting all this though. We need the villains to remind the smaller villains who they are.

I am still desperately waiting for BSNl to start their fiber in Mumbai. Although it won't start immediately, but atleast a hope, an assurance could go a long way in avoiding falling into Jio's trap.
I hope Bsnl do end up making atleast some profits so that it could invest in better servers and other infrastructure.

I think it should go towards making more Peering connections and improving their routing rather than giving it to sleezy people . After these plans launched , it has made routing even worse . If BSNL fixes their routing , removes LCO model , they can basically rule the Broadband market .
They have given the last mile to third party . The least work they can do is get their routing good
