JioFiber is a scam, Jio scammed me
I didn't quite realise all this until tonight when I sat down to break down this whole scam bit by bit. So, I was looking for a broadband connection in Malad, and since these local broadband providers are assholes when it comes to pricing, I decided to give a shot to Jio, which eventually would dupe me for 2000. I registered on their website for JioFiber, but was cunningly redirected to JioAirFiber and wasn't even told that there is no JioFiber in my area (Malad Wes), a completely misleading website, genuinely not having enough information about the difference between Airfiber and JioFiber, nor explicitly mentioning it's not JioFiber which you're booking for. I soon got a call from their representative, asking me to share the location and they'd come and install it all. They didn't mention it wasn't JioAirFiber either, nor anything about the plan I was choosing, but since I had seen their plans on the website, I didn't question or give it another thought. They came and started the KYC, and asking me to pay some 1k for the booking, which I was told would be added to my plan, which I assumed would become a part of the prepaid plan, and another 1k for some additional fees. I was pretty sus since the entire installation was supposed to be free according to their website. I asked what are these charges and they said you'd get a 3 month free, which was almost 700 for a plan which was supposed to be 399 + GST and later explained it was AirJioFiber and JioFiber, I was infuriated, but since the AirJioFiber plan was 499, I continued with it nevertheless. They installed the router, and the necessary components and the system was up and running untill I logged into my Jio Account to see it was fuckingggg postpaid, almost charging me 600, and immediately realised it was all a scam, so these bloody sellers could get a commision on postpaid plans, intentionally not revealing the technology used (Fiber/AirFiber) and plan (postpaid/prepaid). I was disillusioned by a company which is worth billions and has a fairly good reputation, but all down the drain now. I didn't question much throughout, thinking it's a reputable company and would be genuine. I won't let this basterd get away who sold me this postpaid, goanna brick his phone with a RAT and make a mess out his number. Even in highly capitalists countries like UK or US, companies using/allowing such petty scam tactics would get sued and would have to pay, but this third world country is the epitome of petty scams.2
