Jio GigaFiber vs Airtel V-Fiber vs BSNL Broadband: Where Is The Best Deal?

The Reliance Jio GigaFiber is its last stage, and we are just a few weeks away from the final roll out. The company announced its much-awaited Jio GigaFiber at the last AGM in July.

The registrations kick-started on August 15, and we are in the final phase now.

While Jio GigaFiber is prepping up for a pan-India launch, its competitors are not taking it easy this time. Jio’s closest rivals Bharti Airtel and state-run BSNL both have competitive plans ready to take on Reliance Jio this time.

The broadband market is comparatively small compared to the telecom market. The audience is growing, and the lightning-fast speeds have pushed a lot for customers to take up broadband.
