Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), after tasting huge success with Jio mobile services, is gearing up to roll out full-fledged JioGigaFiber. Here are 10 interesting things you should know about this yet another gamechanger from the Mukesh Ambani-led firm.
1) JioGigaFiber will include home broadband, entertainment and smart home IoT (Internet of things) solutions.
2) It is expected to be rolled out on 12 August at the company’s annual general meeting (AGM).

4) JioGigaFiber is currently under beta testing phase. It was launched at the 41st AGM last year, the broadband service was launched and RIL was offering some exciting features for both home and businesses with JioGigaFiber.
5) Subscribers can avail its Preview Offer for a security deposit of Rs 4,500 or Rs 2,500, depending on the speeds one opts for.
