JioFiber launches new entertainment bundles for Postpaid subscribers

[Esmail]

It is kind of a necessary requirement for commercial enterprises atleast where OTT is not required and we could save cost by opting for Internet only plans.

In that case it's better to go for some local ISP who might be leasing bandwidth from these big telcos in bulk and retailing for cheaper in an internet only model. Much like what MVNOs do for wireless network.

What if one needs reliability along with cost savings? JioFiber is very reliable whereas generally local ISPs aren't. I was facing small downtimes at least a few times per week until I moved to JioFiber.

JioFiber is only for home use I believe.

What is the advantage of this postpaid plan over pre paid.

Nothing, to be honest. You get more committed to the term payments when you are on a postpaid connection. That's a disadvantage actually.

Jio is bringing the OTT offers only for postpaid connections just to lure the customers and boost the number of postpaid subscribers so they get in-time payments.

In the case of a prepaid acquisition, you can simply stop recharging and there are no commitments. The connection will get deactivated, that's it. Companies do not want such thing so trying to increase the postpaid customer base.

The Netflix standard now costs 300rs and the premium costs 450rs.

.
Whoa!

The price I mentioned was back when Netflix's monthly price was higher than it is now!!

Netflix Plan Name	Old Price	New Price
Mobile	N/A	₹149
Basic	₹499	₹199
Standard	₹649	₹499
Premium	₹799	₹649

It doesn't really make sense for existing Jio upgraded Netflix users like me.

Now that they are the undisputed leader in wired broadband service, I guess Jio is starting to surge prices. Or did they have a deal fallout with Netflix!?

Last year, after I recharged the 300mbps plan for 1 year (plus 1 month free), I paid upfront to Jio (not to Netflix), Rs.3870 for 12 months and 27 days of Netflix Premium.
.

I have now upgraded Netflix from Basic to Premium.

The difference amount was as expected. Rs.300/month (no additional GST).

Interestingly though, I had to make the payment to Jio, and not to Netflix as I had expected.

The payment was requested for the whole validity period. Meaning, until the Jio Fiber's 1499 plan ends for me (13 months).

So I had to pay Rs.3870 for 13 months of Netflix Premium.

I had recharged the 1499 plan a few days back (Aug 27). Thus, the payment amount was reduced by Rs.30.

In case if I had done the upgrade on Aug 27th itself, the payment amount would have been the full Rs.3900.

What happens if we don't pay postpaid plan?

Apart from that. Are we penalised? Like when we miss due date of electricity bill.
