Starlink vs JIO Fiber / Ambani's Jio Fiber or Musk's Starlink? Which will be cheaper and more beneficial?

Internet is no longer a luxury, it has become a necessity. In India, there is a competition between Jio Fiber and Elon Musk's Starlink. Jio is cheaper, faster and best for cities, while Starlink provides better coverage in remote areas. It is important to choose the right option according to budget and need.

Mukesh Ambani: In today's digital age, internet is not a luxury, but has become a basic need of every person. Be it village or city, job or study - every work is connected to the internet. To meet this need, two big technologies are face to face in India - Elon Musk's Starlink and Mukesh Ambani's Jio Fiber. Both companies claim to provide high-speed internet, but the question is which of these plans is more beneficial for both your pocket and need?

Starlink: Network even where there is no tower

Starlink is a satellite-based internet service that sends signals directly from satellites. Its biggest advantage is that this service can provide internet even in those areas where broadband or mobile network has not reached till now - such as remote villages, hilly areas or dense forests.

But the price of this facility is also equally high. Starlink's installation kit can be around ₹ 33,000, and the monthly plan will be available for around ₹ 3,000. In return, you will get internet speeds ranging from 100 to 250 Mbps and unlimited data. This is a boon for those who live away from cities but still need digital connectivity.

Jio Fiber: Broadband on budget, along with OTT fun

On the other hand, there is Jio Fiber, which is based on fiber optic technology. Its biggest feature is its affordable price – starting at just ₹ 399 per month, it comes with speeds up to 1 Gbps and unlimited calling. It also includes subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other OTT platforms.

Jio Fiber is a reliable and pocket-friendly option for those living in cities and towns. However, its biggest drawback is that the service is limited or unavailable in rural and remote areas.

Your need, your internet

If you live in a place where network access is still a dream, Starlink can prove to be a gamechanger for you – even if it is a bit expensive. But if you live in a city and want better internet, OTT and calling benefits in a low budget, then Jio Fiber is a great option.
