Here's all you need to know about Reliance JioFiber and the initial plans:

Under the JioFiber Preview Offer, consumers will not have to pay for first 3 months service.
However, there will be one time refundable installation fee of Rs 4,500 that consumers will have to pay to get the JioFiber. In case a consumer decides to opt out after free promotion expires, the company will refund the installation fee.
JioFiber consumers will get 100GB data per month at the speed of 100mbps. Once the data is finished, the speed will reduce to 1mbps for unlimited data.
JioFibre consumers will also get complimentary access to various Jio services, including 5GB cloud storage. The company says that JioFiber will be "India's first and only 100 per cent fiber video optimised network" that will enable users to access "ultra-high speed internet at fingertips".
JioFiber users will also get dual-band Wi-Fi routers, which Reliance says will offer "best indoor coverage and connectivity with the Fiber Home Gateway".
Reliance also says that users will be able to monitor and control their Wi-Fi remotely using a cloud link and that every time a new device connects to Fiber Home Gateway, users will get to know about it on their phone through an app.
