According to Reliance Jio, the company will initially be offering a total of six prepaid plans, dubbed as Bronze (Rs. 699 per month), Silver (Rs. 849 per month), Gold (Rs. 1,299 per month), Diamond (Rs. 2,499 per month), Platinum (Rs. 3,999 per month), and Titanium (Rs. 8,499 per month).

The company says each of the JioFiber plans will come with unlimited data download and upload, however there will be a FUP, starting with 100GB of the base Bronze plan, and going up to 5000GB for the top-end Titanium plan.
