I got my JioFiber connection installed on Saturday and am sharing whatever I have noted till now.

Plan: 150Mbps 3.3TB at 999+GST
Location: Jharkhand
Installation cost: 2500(Router + STB)
Time taken for installation: They visited the third day after online payment and completed installation in less than 2 hours as they just had to drop the fiber cable from my home to the ground floor, where their distribution box is installed.
The optical power they noted here was below -21.

My Existing connection: Railwire - 100Mbps unlimited at 999+GST

My observations:
  • AWS Ping test(Ignore few irregularities)

  • DNS servers pings: (Fairly stable)

Surprisingly, while writing this post, Cloudflare's DNS is pinging at 110ms
  • Valorant Ping:

  • Few Speedtest results:

  • NAT Type: Strict(No change with UPnP)

Pros:
  1. 150Mbps plan at the same price I paid for 100Mbps
  2. STB with few OTTs subscriptions
  3. Fairly constant ping throughout the day
  4. The router has good range
Cons:
  1. Very High ping even on local servers. Same with those in SEA and EU.
  2. The installed JioTV app on the STB doesn't work which means very limited live TV channels
  3. Traceroute displays almost no information
  4. Strict NAT

Comparison with my primary connection(might discontinue):
  1. Ping: The main disadvantage I see on JioFiber is that my ping is nowhere close to what Railwire offers. I could get 35ms on servers in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi etc and 70ms for Singapore ones, 160-170ms for Europe. But on JF, Mumbai has 80ms ping when it's best, 65ms for Chennai and 120ms for SGP. I could easily get 35-40ms for CF DNS, 40-50ms for Google DNS on Railwire.
  2. Speed: JF-Speed is good on Indian servers but not that great on International ones. Railwire-Good speeds locally and better than JF on international ones(considering the percentage of the plan:100,150).
  3. FUP- Railwire has no FUP but since I don't hit 3TB monthly, JF's 3.3TB cap should be enough.
  4. NAT type: Strict on JF and Moderate on RW.
  5. Hard bandwidth cap: Jio limits the total speed around the plan speed specified(150Mbps here). Railwire does have the cap for most servers but I have crossed 200Mbps speeds on Netflix(Fast) and some other peered servers which is twice my plan speed.
After the above comparison, many of you might have the opinion that Railwire is better in most of the aspects, so now the reasons I was looking for alternatives :
  1. Poor uptime: There can be a fiber cut any time. Even if there isn't, the connection can disconnect while you're playing a game, attending online classes or while on a call. This is the very reason why I even considered JioFiber as my friends never complain about downtime.
  2. Upload speed: Due to some strange reason not yet known, the upload speeds are limited to 10-15Mbps on windows machines while it's perfect on other OSs. This is not very significant to me as I can use my Pi3 to host a proxy server for my windows device and I mostly don't upload much.(Edit1: This issue is only for states which have their routing through Railtel's Kolkata NOC)

I would like to assume that being the case but then Hathway and den allow open CPE contrary to what Jio is doing, only backend is managed by jio in Hathway and den since the takeover as replacing the CPE is hell of a task
 
But DPI can be done without needing access to cpi , right ?
Is there any way user can bypass DPI without hampering performance ?
What exactly can Jio know about user activity apart from wesbites visited ?
Do they have access to what we do on wesbites ?
Can encrypted dns bypass dpi ?
 
When i am using intra ( emcrypted dns) , some blocked websites are getting opened.
With power tunnel they are not
 

I have been facing an issue with the internet connection for the last 2 months, and today the box got completely dead. I made a complaint to the service provider mr. Tushar Jadhav (9977443357) and his senior mr. hajiminiya Patel (9806240968) multiple times and did not get any satisfactory response from them and they both did not behave well.

This issue is impacting my job so many times and damaging my will to the company.
Now please do resolve the issue as soon as possible within 24 hours, or else refund my full amount which i paid at the time of installation, or I will go for a legal Sue to the company including both of the service providers.

If you think the customer is a burden on you and your company then remove all your properties from my residence and refund my money so i take another one connection for doing my work.

Your technician behaviour is not good and after sales service is so poor.

I do not recommend this jio service at all to anyone.
 
False marketing for 5G
Dont be lured into getting a 5G connection from jio for this is a big scam.

They make u surrender you old internet plans and services and then make a fool of you and there is nothing much you can do as your previous connection is already gone.

Also the vouchers are worth nothing as that puts you in an additional soup of Rs 40k plus.

Bloody scamsters .
