This is part of the Jio GigaFiber Preview Offer under which, users will get free 100GB monthly data at 100Mbps for the first three months from the date of getting a new connection. The security deposit of Rs 4500 is taken for the ONT device (GigaHub Home Gateway) provided by Jio. Moreover, the deposit will be refunded if you choose to discontinue using the JioGigaFiber services, provided the installed devices are returned in good and working condition. Jio will contact you to get its Jio GigaFibre broadband connection at the home or office address you gave during registration.

Talking about the speed, the recent reports claimed that Jio GigaFiber’s speed stands at 3.48 Mbps, which is marginally faster than other broadband providers.
