The JioFiber Backup Plan costs as low as Rs 198 in India and offers users unlimited data, a one-click speed upgrade, and free landline calls. The plan provides a speed of 10Mbps, but users can buy speed vouchers for 1, 2, or 7 days to upgrade their speed to 30Mbps or 100Mbps. These speed upgrades are valid only for the duration specified. The following table shows the pass and price for each upgrade:
