After the public testing late last year, Reliance Jio is now ready to commercially launch its broadband service ‘Jio Fiber’ this Diwali. Isha Ambani, who is the company’s board director announced the same in a tweet yesterday. Like you’d expect, the broadband service comes with disruptively low tariffs. Isha Ambani in her tweet also announced that the Jio Fibre service will offer 100GB data in Rs 500, at a speed of 1Gbps. The service will be rolled out in 100 cities by Diwali, which falls in late October.

Last month, the Jio Fiber details were accidentally leaked tipping the pilot locations where the service will be rolled out first. According to the leak, Reliance Jio will roll out its Fiber-based internet services in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, and Vishakhapatnam.

The leak also suggested that the service will provide complimentary 100GB data for three months at 100Mbps speed. It is speculated that after exceeding the 100GB data consumption limit, speed could be throttled to 1Mbps. Also, another report suggested that Reliance JioFiber service will be accompanied by a custom router, with initial installation charge and refundable security deposit of Rs 4,500.

Besides the Rs 500 plan that Isha Ambani mentioned, there would reportedly be higher-priced packages too, which could start from Rs 2,000 per month for 1000GB data at 100Mbps speed. The FTTH-based JioFiber services will also come with bundled JioMedia share device, smart set top box, routers and Power Line Communication (PLC) plugs. Alongside the high-speed internet service, JioFiber is also expected to give a major push to Internet of Things (IoT) in the country.

The company has been running tests on its JioFiber services in various cities across the country since last year, shortly after Reliance Jio 4G services. According to earlier reports, Reliance has been laying fiber strips in aforementioned states and running trials on its FTTH-based network before the public release.
