Notably, for quite some time, Reliance Jio has been testing its JioFiber broadband service and it is expected to announce its launch today.

According to the reports, the company may offer 100GB of data with a superb speed of 100Mbps for about 90 days. On the other hand, Jio FTTH (Fiber-to-the-home) service is expected to be fully ready by the end of 2018. Reliance Jio may offer high-speed data to 10 cities of the country. These may include Mumbai, NCR, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Surat, Vadodara.
