The entry of Reliance Jio in the wired telecom segment with JioFiber garnered much attention. However, it might not disrupt the fiber-based broadband services. CRISIL Research says that plans and tariff of Reliance JioFiber are non-disruptive and unlikely to shake things up the way they did in wireless On September 5, JioFiber unveiled its service offerings starting at 100GB monthly data at 100Mbps speed for Rs 699 per month (Bronze pack) and going up to 5000GB monthly data at 1Gbps speed for Rs 8,499 per month (Titanium pack) In comparison BSNL’s Bharat Fiber base pack offers 500GB data with 50Mbps speed for Rs 777, Airtel’s V-Fiber broadband plan starts at 100GB data at 40Mbps for Rs 799, and ACT Fibernet’s base pack offers 500GB data at 100Mbps for Rs 749. CRISIL Research believes the plans are unlikely to lead to a significant churn in the market. It notes that while Jio’s pricing per GB is approximately Rs 4 for the base plan, rivals are also in a similar range. “Government-owned BSNL’s is much lower at Rs 2. Among premium plans, JioFiber’s price per GB is approximately Rs 1.2-1.6, again in line with competitors,” it says.
