Jio GigaFiber, the much-awaited FTTH service from Reliance, will be available in India soon, according to India Today.
Citing “people involved in setting up the Jio GigaFiber”, the publication claims that Jio will “rollout the service commercially in March 2019”.

Additionally, users can connect VR headsets to their GigaFiber network and stream 360-degree content in 4K resolution.
While the rollout is expected in March, Jio had previously confirmed that GigaFiber will be first launched in 1,100 cities. However, in the first phase, the rollout is expected to happen in 29 Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
These cities include Agra, Bengaluru, Chennai, Chandigarh, Ranchi, Patna, Allahabad, Raipur, Nagpur, Ghaziabad, Pune, Indore, Thane, Bhopal, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Madurai, Nashik, and Guwahati among others.
