Announcing the launch, a Jio spokesperson said, “As India’s largest home broadband service provider, we, at Jio, understand the customer’s need to remain connected round-the-clock with dependable broadband connectivity at home.”

“This new concept of a backup connection allows homes to have an alternate broadband connectivity with an assured supply of data at an affordable price," the spokesperson added.

The JioFiber Backup plan with 10 Mbps speed costs ₹298 and comes with a set-top box (STB) and OTT apps. However, if users only opt to use the internet, they can avail the plan for as low as ₹198.

Users can pay ₹990 (₹198 x 5) for a five-month plan along with ₹500 as JioFiber installation charges.

Moreover, with the JioFiber Backup plan, users will be given a choice to upgrade their streaming speed from 10 Mbps to 30-100 Mbps as and when they need it, along with one, two, and seven-day options.
