I am also planning to get the Jio preview offer, if it is still available when they reach my area, will they refund Rs. 4500 security deposit or is there any hidden term and condition? + a single box for broadband and tv?

what is minimum no of registration count ?
do they install the whole setup underground ?

Sep 20, 2018 at 4:08 PM
4500 is refundable deposit. That's what they assured me.
They gave one router which takes optic fibre cable as input (instead of rj11 in normal modems / router) and has 3 lan port + usb port for storage. But can't use it yet . Even if we attach usb hdd to it . They don't know how to configure it.

No idea about min count of reg. I got this long time back and am only subscriber in my street which has 10 houses.
Yes totally underground. From UG they lay flex hose / pipe to your home and then to a box. ( See pic ) near the car Tyre is where the UG junction is. And near the gate you can see reliance box. From there they again lay thin optic fibre cable to your room to another small box . And from that a patch cable (again optic fiber cable) is laid to the modem

They will reach everywhere as Ambani has lots of $$'s so no issues of manpower and hardware. As far as the permission goes, all the governments are in his pocket. Remember he got the 4g license for India at rock bottom price whereas other service providers had to shell out tons of money for few states.

Is there any information on upcoming Jio broadband plans?
There are many local ISP's in cities like gurgaon, hyderabad, noida, mumbai etc. which already provides 100Mbps unlimited for 1000 bucks a month. That is going to be a competition for Jio.

One query,Folks.

Can the JioFiber be available for personal or individual House?
I mean, is it only entitled for a Housing society? Or large Apartments,with lots of Flats and Families?

To @meetdilip , @billubakra , @whitestar_999 , @Zangetsu ?

It is available for individual house/flat provided it has started service in your area. That thing on the registration page means more the number of registrations from an area/society the faster they will get there.

They will need certain no. of connections at your area for them to start providing connections during the initial days. If that is met, people could get those ₹ 700 basic plans with 1 Gbps ( 2 months free ?) as individual connection.

Anybody moving to JioFiber ? They are offering share files within home network and outside. What is it ? Something like Plex ?

Plex is meant for media streaming,this looks more like a pseudo-static IP sharing(also possible on any normal connection with software & dynamic dns services like no-ip,dyndns etc also present in many routers).

I have been using Jio fiber for the last few days.

Router is pre configured, it can be used out of the box without any further configuration. At the time installation, they said I can use My Jio app to access/manage everything. Since I don't have a smartphone, the initial things I asked were done by the technician using his smartphone. I was told I can access router interface from browser and manage it from there.

For the last two days I am trying to figure out the things, as I am not used with this kinda router before. I don't know what's the point of having half a dozen access points/profiles (WLAN). By default, two of them are up - one is 2.4ghz and another is 5ghz. There don't seems to be any option to delete the other access points.

It looks like the bandwidth profile is only for upstream, if there are too many devices connected I can't limit anyone's bandwidth. I don't even know if that upstream limit is working or not. Comparing with my old DSL connection, I am using 3x that data with Fiber. Since it's unlimited, I don't have to worry about that.

@nac : Is this connection completely wireless?Did they install any cabling from their end to your home/apartment to provide the jio fiber connectivity?

How much did you have to pay for the initial setup and the necessary peripherals (router etc)?And which of their monthly plans have you subscribed to at the moment?

PS: Does jiofiber block access to warez portals by default?

It's optical fiber line. Optical fiber cable looks pretty much like telephone line atleast to me exterior looks like that. With telephone line, we can bend or even make a knot, but with optical fiber they say we shouldn't and that will damage or even break the line.

They have a pole in the street and a box is already installed in the pole itself. A line running from the post to my house, they kept the cable as it is until the line come into my house, after that they spliced one part of the line and removed it entirely. I guess they didn't need that part anymore. And there is a small palm size box, something similar to telephone connection. They installed that close to where I want the router.

Modem has four lan port, two usb port, one port for optical fiber and power line. There is a button for WPS, other than that no button at all not even power button. And no antennas for Wifi, they say it's internal. Only one led light, and nothing else.

It's Rs. 1500/- as they advertised including GST and everything. Router comes with power adapter, ethernet cable, telephone line cable (each 1 no.).

As of now I haven't subscribed to any plan, as you now it's a trial period. I am intending to go for the base plan.

Never heard of warez before, googled and its something to do with piracy thing. I don't think forum allows to discuss about that.

I am keen to know about your feedback and usage of Jio Fiber. Though Alliance BB is running very good ,still interested in Jio Fiber.
In fact I am ready to go for the Rs.999.00 pack per month with Cable TV set top box combination. Means needed to spend Rs.2500.00 initially.

Asked the technician to check how much he's getting over wifi in his smartphone, but totally forgot as we were busy activating landline at that time.
In Jio phone over wifi I got about 12mbps download and about 1.8mbps upload.

As they say, better the devil you know. One of the reason I stayed with BSNL was they will respond if I book a complaint or atleast that was the case until before this time. I don't know how Jio will act in such cases. Hope all stay good.

I don't know if the max data rate is shown somewhere in the modem interface page. I tried to find, but it's not there. If it's available, please let me know.

Checked the bandwidth profile and traffic selectors. It works, but not sure about few things. I just wanted to go little extreme and test. So set 512kbps as Upstream bandwidth, and created three profiles 10%, 50%, 100% of upstream bandwidth as limit. In traffic selectors, I set my desktop and applied each profiles and tested. Here are the results,

So the Upstream bandwidth limit works, but also affects the download speed as well. It's not clear why and how it affects.

Just fyi even if doesn't affect majority of users, "truly unlimited" in case of airtel & jio means around 3.3TB of total data usage per month beyond which they start throttling the speeds.

Yeah, remember reading somewhere, probably in terms and conditions.

My usage didn't suddenly change after I moved from DSL to Fiber. But going by the statement, my data usage got tripled. Will see how much I use by the end of the month.

Tested bandwidth profiles with various limits, even @ 1gbps my data rate is been reduced to half of my max speed (150mbps). We're setting the limit for upstream, but it affects download as well. But it's not clear, from 1mbps to 1gbps download rate is same and upload rate is in line with the limit set but that works until we hit that 50% (about 75mbps) of my max speed. Post that it doesn't work. Here are the results,

just 2-3 days back saw sarcasticsindhi's video in which after 2 weeks of trial it is not working and no one resolved it even after 4-5 days.
i would say only one thing - if what you are using is sufficient for you and you are not having problems, don't change. i have not gone for it even though the person called me up 4-5 times. person residing above me has taken it some 2 years back & i think it works ok but so it my airtel vdsl.

Using JioFiber.
Well,their latency is very bad compared to Alliance BB.
JioFiber latency in WiFi mode hits 39ms,whereas in Alliance it used to be 9~12ms(WiFi mode).

Friends, I have cloned the Jiofiber network in my Tp-Link XC220-G3V XPON Router,with the JioFiber attached to the PON port of Tp-Link router.
I do have 3 Tp-Link DECO M4 mesh nodes/devices.
I have connected the main DECO Router with an ethernet cable to one of LAN port of Tp-Link Router.
The rest 2 DECO M4 at diffrent rooms are acting as satellites with the main router through WiFi.
Main DECO M4 is acting as "Access Pont" mode.

I have purchased 4 bundles of Cat 6 ethernet cables of varying lengths.

I also do have a Tp-Link Gigabit ethernet switch(unmanaged).

If I do the Daisy chain connection method,will that be helpful?

Or shall I go with Star Topology for connecting the ethernet cables?

Ultimately getting desired Wi-Fi Network (JioFiber)Speeds through Star Topolgy with my Tp-Link DECO M4 mesh systems.
This is through the ethernet backhauling.

Main Router: Tp-Link XC220-G3V connected to Tp-Link MAIN DECO M4(ACCESS MODE) through Cat 6 ethernet cable.
From the MAIN DECO M4 another Cat 6 ethernet cable is connected to Tp-Link (OMADA) ES208G 8 port Gigabit Switch.
From that switch two more ports are attached with Cat 6 ethernet cable with the remaining 2 DECO M4 mesh nodes acting as satellites to the main DECO.

Of my 300Mbps Plan JioFiber, previously in WiFi I used to get 51Mbps Download and 48 Mbps Upload speeds. The Ping used to be 112ms or greater,sometimes by luck 39ms.

NOW DOWNLOAD: 311.79Mbps
NOW UPLOAD:125.79Mbps(inconsistent compared to ALLIANCE BB)
NOW PING: 7ms :bananana:


ALL IN WIFI MODE!!!
