Covid-19: Jio Offers More Data, BSNL Offers Free Broadband!

The Coronavirus outbreak has led to shut down of schools, colleges and offices across India, as a result of which people are using more data at home for their work and recreational requirements.

Anticipating rise in data consumption, Reliance Jio has upgraded some of its data vouchers. Rs 11, Rs 21, Rs 51 and Rs 101 denominations will now offer 800MB, 2 GB, 6GB and 12GB data, respectively, which is double of what was being offered earlier.

These vouchers also offer 75, 200, 500 and 1000 minutes, respectively, of outgoing talktime to any non-Jio network across the country.

"Through these voucher upgrades Jio is extending help to the users and ensuring that Indians have access to uninterrupted, abundant and affordable data to meet their current connectivity needs,” the company said.

Similarly, BSNL too announced that the company will provide free one month broadband to customers who have BSNL landline and do not have any broadband.
