There's good news for cricket fans in India planning to watch the upcoming T20 World Cup matches live at stadiums. Reliance Jio today announced free high-speed Wi-Fi with unlimited downloads at six stadiums across the country.

The service offered by Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited's Jionet will be available in Bangalore (M Chinnaswamy Stadium), Dharmashala (Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium) , Kolkata (Eden Gardens), Mohali (Punjab Cricket Association Stadium), New Delhi (Feroz Shah Kotla) and Mumbai (Wankhede Stadium). The service provider has fixed a certain range to allow only spectators inside these stadiums to have access.


“To make this possible, Jionet has harnessed its superior network capacity along with an excellent deployment of specially designed, state-of-the-art Wi-Fi access points that will cover the entire stadium with a seating capacity of minimum 20,000,” the statement added.

How to Connect Reliance Jio Wi-Fi?
  • Activate Wi-Fi on the smartphone and select 'Reliance JioNet WiFi'
  • Visit the login page
  • Enter mobile number and generate OTP (sent via SMS)
  • Log-in with the OTP

Users will automatically be disconnected from the network if there is no activity for 30 minutes. In cases like these, one will be able to login again with the same code, which is essentially valid for a period of 24 hours. Jionet claims to offer download speeds of 50 Mbps

Recently, it claims to have tested the same during a match at Wankhede in which downloads of over 22TB occured on its networks.
