Isn't your agent also giving you a land line. He will configure the landline to one mobile phone at home. That way, in case the landline rings when you are at home, the linked mobile will also ring and you do not have to go to the instrument. But if that mobile phone is out of the home, then this feature does not work. One good thing about this roll out is that they are not charging for amount of cable used. So we have the freedom to locate it anywhere in our home for the same cost. The surprising part nowadays is that the Rs 4500 dual band router is no longer available, at least in my neck of the woods. The guys says it is out of stock. The guy also said that once Jio TV is started, they will visit and hook up the TV to the router they provide. One word of caution - Please change the password they provide to something you are familiar with. In these days of heightened security, it does not make sense for other people to know what our home Wi-Fi password is. Ideally note down the procedure so you can change your password / rename your router multiple times in the future. | |

You have to register interest on jio.com or via the MyJio app. They are available also for individual houses. |

Over the past few months, my usage has been very high owing to Neftlix and amazon prime. However, I've been getting free recharges of 100 GB whenever I want. My average usage is 250 GB a month. The only thing that worries me is the usage figures. I am not sure if they are being bloated up so that one would have to pay more when the tariff plans kick in. | |

| ![]() Got the Jio Fiber installed yesterday by paying Rs. 2,500 deposit at J P Nagar 9th Phase, Bangalore. Until now I was using ACT and was getting 20+ Mbps (for the base plan I had opted) speeds and with Jio it is 40+ Mbps. Seems to be good for now. I guess the speeds may also increase with full commercial launch. KK |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I had a strange issue with Jio fiber: I had to pay advance tax and when I accessed the site and entered details the site wouldn't take me to the Netbanking at all citing technical error, I made many attempts without success. Found it rather strange so I shifted my connection to ACT and tried again and worked smoothly and was able to pay my advance tax. Has any one experienced this with Jio Fiber? |

| ![]() Does it strike to anyone, that a "refundable security deposit" is something that is possibly being used to avoid GST and income tax ? Income tax act depreciates electronics at 80% in the first year of usage right? Then do we get a bill for 80% of ₹4,500/- (+GST) for the first year of usage ? To claim expenses, ofcourse. |

| ![]() Here are the details from the Launch Yesterday - if we look at just the broadband pricing then its not as cheap as the days of Jio SIM. They claim the higher speed of 100 mbps as the starting point which is good but the data offered on the Bronze/Silver are not that great unless one goes goes for an Annual Plan. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: I did not include the detailed slides for plans beyond Gold as those did not interest me. The TV brands are not called out. Last edited by vsrivatsa : 6th September 2019 at 08:12. |

| ![]() The biggest issue I see with getting TV channels through your internet provider is that when Internet is down at that time your TV is also down. So it's like a double whammy. |

Totally agree with this. My house is currently cable / DTH free. I am *not* use Jio for now but have other avenues for getting channels that my household watches. But yes when internet is down or crawls to 1-2 Mbps (normally it is 25 Mbps) then we cannot get HD on channels and cannot run 2 TVs simultaneously streaming content. But since internet doesn't go down often (fingers crossed), it is ok and overall, I am satisfied with our cord cutting. |

A quick way to check optimal MTU is Go to command prompt from a laptop and run the following Ping -l 1500 -f 4.2.2.2 You might get "Packet too big.DF bit set" message. Keep reducing the number 1500 (eg : try reducing by 50) and repeat this till you get reply. You will arrive at a minimum numver(eg: 1450 might work but 1451 will generate packet too big). Add 28 to this number- this is the optimal MTU. You need to set it on the JIo router | |
