• The big battle for broadband internet in India
  has begun. With the arrival of Reliance JioFiber,
  the competition has become tougher than ever with
  almost all the existing players rushing to
  compete with Jio.
• Plans for JioFiber start at Rs 699 per month and
  go all the way up to Rs 8,499 per month bundled

  select, will range between 100Mbps and 1Gbps
  along with value adds such as subscriptions to

  presence in south India, the company has been
  expanding its services pan-India at a rapid pace.

  offers service in 18 cities, with more added in

Jio Fiber

  Rs 699 with the Bronze plan. This is limited up
  to 100Mbps speed and bundles 150GB of data. This
  includes 100GB base data limit and 50GB extra
  data, which will be available for 6 months. Once
  this Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is exhausted, there
  will be no extra charges for any additional data
  usage, though the speed will reduce to 1Mbps for
  the rest of the billing cycle. This also bundles
  three-month subscriptions to JioCinema and
  JioSaavn.
• Jio Fiber has its silver broadband plan for ?849
  per month with 100Mbps speed, 400GB data in total
  and three months access to OTT apps. Rest of the
  features come bundled with Jio Fiber silver plan
  as well. Reliance Jio Fiber service has a

ACT Fibernet

• ACT Fibernet, on the other hand, offers plans
  starting at Rs 749 per month for its basic
  100Mbps plan with 500GB monthly data FUP. Post
  exhaustion, the speeds go down to 512Kbps.
  However, if you opt for any of the plans priced
  Rs 1,249 per month and above, post FUP your
  speeds will be 2Mbps.
• It is notable, that ACT is offering 1000GB of
  extra data free of cost, which means that there
  is a slim chance that you will be able to
  completely exhaust your free data limit. The most
  expensive plan is priced at Rs 4,999 per month
  which offers speeds of up to 150Mbps, and a total
  of 3500GB of data (2500GB 1000GB).
• Apart from the regular plans, ACT offers two
  Netflix bundle plans where customers can save up
  to Rs 300. The Platinum Promo Entertainment and
  Diamond Entertainment plans offer 150Mbps priced
  at Rs 999 and Rs 1,249 per month respectively.
  The former plan offers 2000GB of total data in a
  month while the Diamond plan offers 2750GB of

Verdict

• Looking at many benefits offered and pricing as
  well as availability across India, it is obvious
  JioFiber is the most preferable option when it
  comes to wireless internet.
• Jio?Fiber also gives access to OTT?plans but only
  on the silver plan. But as for other features
  like gaming and video calling, Jio?Fiber
  definitely has an upper hand.
• We highly recommend switching to JioFiber
  broadband connection.
