Reliance Jio’s long-awaited Jio Fiber broadband service is
set to commercially launch in India on September 5. At its recent Annual
General Meeting (AGM), Reliance Jio revealed Jio Fiber services will be
available to users at a starting price of Rs 700 with 100Mbps data speeds. The
company also showcased set-top-box and Mixed Reality headset among other new
products.
With just less
than a week remaining for the commercial launch, Jio Fiber set-top-box images
have surfaced online. Posted by DreamDTH, a blue colour set-top-box is
seen with Jio sticker on the top panel. The hybrid set-top-box features an HDMI
port, Ethernet port, and two USB ports.
According to the website, the Jio Fiber DTH
UI is highly similar to TataSky’s and offers channels as per the recent TRAI
regulations. The Jio Fiber set-top-box comes with a voice-enabled remote which
allows users to switch between live TV channels and OTT platforms through voice
commands, according to the website. The remote also has number pads, volume and
channel navigation buttons, and a dedicated cinema button. Just like some other
DTH remotes, the Jio Fiber TV remote will also let you control TV.
Reliance
at its AGM had said the set-top-box will also be capable of gaming, VR and MR.
It is also compatible with all gaming controllers. Users can make multi-party
video calls with the box as well.
Reliance Jio had also introduced a ‘Welcome Offer’ for
annual subscription plans. With this, subscribers will be eligible for a free
4K set-top-box and HD or 4K LED TV or home PC.
Separately, Reliance Jio is reportedly planning
to launch its Jio Fiber services with first two months free access to existing
users. It is worth noting that Jio had been running a beta trial of its Jio
Fiber, erstwhile known as JioGigaFiber, with a select number of users. Under
the preview offer, Reliance Jio offered up to 100Mbps free data (50Mbps via
Wi-Fi). The company offers the ONT device for Rs 2,500 (refundable). The company
is still accepting new Jio Fiber on its official registration website. from Latest Bollywood News & Gossip | Hollywood News and Celebrity News - Times Now News

How to get jio set top box
ReplyDeleteI have applied for 3 connections. After acceptance and payment Jio showed inability and refunded money for 2. Connection for 3rd has not yet started even after 8 days. No reason but 'unavoidable technical reason' is being conveyed repeatedly without giving any detail.
ReplyDeleteAll efforts to call and write to Jio Fibre Customer Care failed. Only evasive responses.
So much so for Jio Fibre. Very Very Poor Experience in the start itself. Shudder to think what will happen in future
