“The addition of JioNews App on the set-top-box further enriches JioFiber’s content offering through its Set-Top-Box (STB) which already allows JioFiber subscribers to access several popular OTT apps across entertainment, health, music, sports, education, news and other genres apart from access to Jio’s own apps like JioCinema, JioSaavn, JioTV+ etc. With JioNews, the smart news aggregator app, Jio now offers an even more comprehensive user experience," the company said in a note mentioned in an HT Tech report.

New Jio Fiber customers can also opt for annual packages to avail access to premium content from OTTs like Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5 and more. The company offers six different packages: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Titanium. The Bronze plan starts at ₹8,388 for a year and goes all the way to Titanium which costs over 1 lakh for a year. readmore
