Jio soft-launches FTTH in Mumbai

Disruptive 4G startup Reliance Jio Infocomm (Jio) has reportedly begun offering high speed broadband services over a new fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network in areas of Mumbai. India Today writes that Jio began deploying the network in November last year and customers in the few areas where the deployment has been completed are now able to access the system. According to the news outlet, which cites a resident in one of the buildings passed by the FTTH network, potential customers are offered broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps with three months of free access, with the exception of a one-off fee of INR4,500 (USD65.8) for the router.
