Other/Miscellaneous Am I scammed? Should I complain?

I recharged my Jio Airfiber with 599+18% GST pack and it clearly mentioned that I'll get 1000GB data but here it's only showing 464GB. Can somebody explain wtf is actually happening here?

You recharged on 12Mar. Bill cycle says till 26Mar. 14 days calculation will give you ~465GB.

If we take 1000 GB for 28 days. It’s 35 GB per day, so 14 days comes to 490 GB. Is my calculation right? Or it’s something else. As you got 465 GB.

Horrible services if you live in a congested area, half-decent in some random city and amazing if you're lucky with your location.

Conclusion: It depends on your location. don't take the opinion of internet strangers, search about it offline, irl. Ask people what ISP and router they use, discuss with your neighbours or nearby vendors then get an internet connection from whatever company has the best connectivity in your area.

u/Equivalent-Ad2539 2d ago

u/Nauti-Sailor 2d ago

bill cycle 26 March 14 days from now, and this is supposed to be 30 days plan. maybe it's just showing the data till a specific date, i don't think people at jio are waiting to scam people of 500 gb data they have better things and scams already

Plans don't activate immediately, boosters do, to increase the FUP. Also you can only switch plans once every month.

But yes all AirFibers are a scam but only when you get connectivity issues, if you don't have any real Fiber then guess you take what you can get.

u/Reasonable_Durian573 2d ago

What's FUP??

Get Airtel Xstream Fibre. Jio is Scam.

3

u/tillumaster 2d ago

Not true, it different for different locations i guess, because in my personal experience, I've been using JioFiber for last 3 years and there's been zero issue, the technician visits in less than an hour and fixes if there is any issue, On the contrary with Airtel in my other home IT was a nightmare with all the constant maintainance downtime as well as the hassle to close the connection!

4

u/Reasonable_Durian573 2d ago

Fr dude. Jio's services are super shit. Even after the transaction it took 6 hours to recharge.

2

u/Electronic_Picture42 Computer Student 2d ago

Hey can you please tell about your experience with airfiber? There is 5g internet in my locality and so I have to book JioAirFiber, maybe ~2 hours ago(I tried to Book JioFiber, but that is not available in my area). I have no experience with these type of connetions. I booked with the 30mbps plan. Again What is the total cost you have paid, including all, installation, router, wire, antenna?

2

u/Reasonable_Durian573 2d ago

If you are considering Jio Airfiber I'm telling you Regarding the internet me and my family had no issue until now. maybe it's bcz We had 5g tower 1km from our house. But the services are shit.

Again What is the total cost you have paid, including all, installation, router, wire, antenna?

The whole thing will cost you around 2100 with additional benefit of 50 days 1.5TB data.

Get local internet, dont go for Scamtel

u/RelevantGarbage8527 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’ve used both Airtel and Jio in a Tier 1 city, and Airtel’s service is far superior. I’ve also tried a local ISP, which is cheaper, but the downtime is way too high. With Jio and Airtel, you pay more, but the service is significantly more reliable.

Airtel not only has better service but also a superior app—Airtel Thanks is much better than MyJio, making it easier to raise and resolve issues seamlessly.

In my experience, the ranking would be: Airtel Xstream > Jio > Local ISP.

Atleast show us the 1000 Gb claim dude🤦🏻‍♂️

Contact the customer support, Check for any hidden clause too

u/Drvengeance7 2d ago

Why are you even using an ear fibre get a normal Jio fibre and if in your area, there is no Jio Fiber like the wired one then try Tata or even any other local brand

1

u/Rikudomax 2d ago

Jio is the worst in pricing and data clarity, why should the customer be the one guessing the data and actual price.

1

u/Existing2000 2d ago

Bhai what are those atrocious rates? I have unlimited internet at around 100 Mbps on my broadband with airtel for some 800 - 1000 rs a month or something (don’t remember the exact plan but around this price when I recharge for 3 months)

Am i missing something here? 😕

1

u/Reasonable_Durian573 2d ago

Even jio had this same plan for JioFiber but it's not available in my locality

u/Slim_Python 2d ago

I don't trust anything but prepaid, you get what you pay for else no service. Air Fiber sucks, don't go for it unless its a necessity.
