Relinace Jio started offering the Jio GigaFiber connection to some users in Delhi and Mumbai a few months ago. Now, the telecom operator is gearing up to commercially launch the GigaFiber across the country. Initially, it will only be available in major cities like Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai and later spread towards the tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India.

For those who are unaware, GigaFiber is a Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband service by Reliance Jio, which aims to bring high speed internet connection to every house. According to a report by India Today, Jio is planning to commercially launch GigaFiber in India sometime in March 2019.

As of now, users in Delhi and Mumbai have been enjoying a free trial version of the FTTH broadband connection. Now with GigaFiber, Jio aims to provide a high-speed internet connection to over 50 million houses in India. The GigaFiber setup will also come with a router and a Jio GigaTV setup box.

At the recent Reliance AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced that Jio is planning to spread GigaFiber in 1,100 cities. It means that within the first phase over 1,100 cities will be covered.
