Broadband service provider Reliance Jio has launched a new JioFiber Backup plan that offers unlimited 10Mbps data along with a choice to upgrade the speed as and when required. The plan is designed for users who need a reliable alternative connection when their primary broadband connection is unstable or is down for maintenance.

“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. With JioFiber Back-up, we want to offer alternate, reliable broadband connectivity for homes. This new concept of a backup connection allows homes to have alternate broadband connectivity with an assured supply of data at an affordable price. Customers can seamlessly upgrade to higher speeds, upon realization of the immense benefits of such value connections,” said a Jio spokesperson.

The JioFiber Backup plan is priced at Rs. 198 per month and offers unlimited data at 10Mbps speed. It also provides access to free landline calls.
