Today, I got a Jiofi with the help of my friend Uday. It is the new version of the device with OLED display.
My devices - Desktop, Windows 10 laptop, Meizu M2 Note, Samsung tab P3100
24-Sep-2016 update (Final):
- JIOFI speeds are pathetic even when it shows 4 bars in the JIOFI device
- Jio TV app very frequently fails to connect on my phone. Sometimes, I have to open app, connect to my JIOFI and then connect to my home wifi to see the channel. I guess JIOFI is not able to provide require bandwidth. But once connection is made, the app is not checking whether i am using JIO network or home wifi on a continuous basis.
19-Sep-2016: First impression:
- Device is sleek and good looking.
- Initially, speed on my phone is ~50 Kbps but improved after placing it another room
- Connection seems to be dropping but reconnecting quickly. Need to check while I am working on remote desktop as it will be easily confirmed if connection is erratic or not
- What caught my eye is "Designed in India" at the back. Usability could be better. To press POWER button to see the display is not convenient. Instead, the JIO logo could have been a capacitive button to light up the screen.
- I am getting 6 - 11 Mbps on my laptop and 2-3 Mbps on my phone (Tests done using speedtest.net, You have to note that the server used during testing was hosted by JIO. I am not sure whether it has any relevance to speedtest). Note: In my area (Aarambh township, Lingampally, Hyderabad, India - 500 019), network connectivity is very bad (I have Airtel which is very poor, despite reaching out to their open network initiative there is no response or action taken)

Conclusion:
- Low speeds on phone but decent on laptop. Will check phone settings and update later
- Not yet ready to replace my wired internet with this, need more testing
