Along with announcing the launch of the much awaited Jio Fiber, Ambani opened up a box full of freebies. These new plans will rival that of his own Jio’s ‘free for three months’ plan, which was given out at the time of the launch three years back.

"Fixed line download speed in US around 90 mbps. In India, even the most basic Jio Fiber plan will start at 100 megabits per second (mbps), and we have plans to go as high as 1 gbps. India will have quality of broadband no less than anyone in the world," promised Ambani as he addressed his shareholders at his company's 42nd annual general meeting earlier this month.

LED TV free with annual Jio Fiber subscription

Jio Fiber offers a HD or 4K LED TV and a 4K Set-top box free with an annual subscription. Added to that, Ambani promised that their services will come bundled with many OTT platforms.

“We are simplifying the purchase and consumption of content. Keeping track to multiple subscriptions and packs for favourite shows is expensive and cumbersome,” said Ambani.

First day First show

Premium Jio customers will be able to watch a movie on the very day it released, beamed into their homes.

The plans will also allow the family to keep track of all the phone bills of family members.

“It will give better control on GBs and allows sharing,” explained Ambani.
