Jio's dominance has also forced broadband providers to up their game. Airtel used to dominate in my part of the city, offering mediocre speeds and expensive plans.

About 1.5 years ago, my broadband bill was about $30 at 16mbps capped at 80GB/month from Airtel.

Now Airtel is offering me 100mbps at ~$13 capped at 250GB/month

I recently switched to a local internet provider. INR 850/month (~$12) for 50mbps with no download limit.

Internet in India has suddenly become really good. Made my work so much easier
