To Take on Jio GigaFiber, Tata Sky Broadband With Up to 100Mbps Speed Launched in 12 Indian Cities

Jio GigaFiber registrations have begun and the rollout is expected to start in the next few months. However, before the Jio GigaFiber rollout begins, DTH service provider Tata Sky has launched its broadband Internet services in 12 cities. Of course, Tata Sky Broadband is only the latest rival to jump on the bandwagon to offer its fixed-line service. The company has already listed the places where the service can be availed. Notably, there are several monthly, quarterly, yearly and other plans that offer up to 100Mbps speeds. Others such as Airtel and BSNL have bolstered their own broadband offerings to ensure they are able to stop users from switching to Jio GigaFiber when it becomes available.

As of now, the Tata Sky Broadband is available in 12 cities - Mumbai, Thane, Delhi, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Pune, Bhopal, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Mira Bhayandar.
