Amazon Prime & Netflix will be available in Reliance Jio Fiber

[PBKol]

I just had a chat with the Jio customer care executive and asked him about any new OTT apps/subscription. He says Amazon Prime will be available from 4th week of February and Netflix from 1st week of April.

Amazon Prime and Netflix applications or subscriptions?

 

[Rhishav]

Probably apps with subscriptions budled with higher end plans.

Most likely.

Get the connection when they are launched. I wouldn't believe anything they are saying. They have a history of changing their own commitment and words.

You should not believe what their customer care says.

Jio have kept their word so far. Most people would have subscription to these streaming services already. A compatible app by itself will be very much helpful.

Well, got this info about 10 days back from a close friend who works at Jio backend (UI, integration etc). So this is indeed coming. He isn't sure which plans will get it though.

Did not post it here as he requested not to. But since the cat's out of the bag, 👍

It will come soon that is for sure considering airtel is offering similar benefits.

Any idea why the disparity in STB models and lack of a proper play store ? Your friend could let us know. 😀

@bigman91 I'll check with him. Lack of PS is obvious, isn't it ? It's a locked down ecosystem controlled end-to-end by Jio (like Airtel box etc). It's not a phone/tablet.

@alekhkhanna Does ur friend only works on stb's or does he work on gateway's too? If yes, can u ask him about bridge mode?

 

[alekhkhanna]

Will check @Nitin . AFAIK, it's more to do with backend integration etc than directly on the router.
He's vacationing, so will disturb him once he's back.

Most Important: Ask him when is 1:1 Speeds are coming back on JioFiber?

Please!
