Reliance JioGigaFiber: Registrations open for new broadband service; here are key details

After disrupting the telecom space with its aggressive mobile data and calling services, Reliance Jio is now settings its sight on the broadband segment – currently dominated by Airtel and other smaller players. Reliance Jio on August 15 opened registrations for its new broadband services, called JioGigaFiber.Reliance JioGigaFiber is touted as the “largest greenfield fixed-line broadband rollout” in the world. The operator is promising maximum data speeds up to 1Gbps – peak speed only offered by very few service providers like ACT Fibernet and Spectra, erstwhile known as Spectranet. JioGigaFiber, however, will leverage its wider network in India as Jio plans to roll out the services in over 1,000 cities.
