Under the new scheme, JioFibre allows existing users to get a speed upgrade for a limited number of days. It also has offers for non-JioFibre users who can take a new connection as a ‘back-up’ broadband connection to aid in the streaming high data consuming content such as live sports.
“With JioFiber Backup, we want to offer alternate reliable broadband connectivity for homes. This new concept of a back-up connection allows homes to have an alternate broadband connectivity with an assured supply of data at an affordable price,” a Jio spokesperson said.
Existing JioFibre users get a choice to upgrade the speed (from 10 Mbps to 30 / 100 Mbps) as and when they need, with 1 / 2 / 7 day options, at the click of a button.
New non-JioFibre users can use this connection as a ‘backup’ to their primary broadband connection.
The JioFibre Backup connection will be available from March 30, a day before the IPL kicks off.
Last week, Jio had announced some pre-paid packs with 3GB daily data allowance ahead of the start of this year’s IPL.In addition to the high data allowance base packs, it also launched data add-on packs with up to 90-day validity and a data allowance of 150 GB.
