Reliance Jio has launched a new offer for its broadband users, making YouTube Premium free for two years with select JioFiber and Jio AirFiber postpaid plans. For anyone fed up with YouTube’s relentless ads, this is a golden opportunity to enjoy a smooth, ad-free experience on one of the world’s most popular video platforms.

The Reliance Jio offer is available to users who subscribe to postpaid broadband plans priced at Rs 888 or above. This includes some of Jio’s most popular plans, aimed at enhancing the overall experience for its customers. With YouTube Premium, users can watch videos uninterrupted by ads, download content for offline viewing, and even play videos in the background while multitasking. The subscription also comes with access to YouTube Music. You can avail of 24 months of free YouTube Premium with JioFiber and Jio AirFiber postpaid plans priced at Rs 888, Rs 1,199, Rs 1,499, Rs 2,499, and Rs 3,499.

This new initiative from Jio comes as a response to the increasing popularity of YouTube Premium, which has seen a price hike in India over the past year. Currently, a standalone subscription to YouTube Premium costs Rs 149 per month for individual users and Rs 299 per month for families, making Jio’s offer an incredible value for its broadband subscribers.

By bundling YouTube Premium with its postpaid broadband services, Jio is targeting households and individuals who consume large amounts of content on YouTube, whether on their smartphones, tablets, or smart TVs. It’s also a strategic move to attract more users to its broadband ecosystem, where Jio has been rapidly expanding its reach.

YouTube has become the go-to video platform for most folks these days, whether it’s for catching up on news, watching tutorials, or streaming entertainment. However, the platform’s frequent ads, many of which are unskippable and can last between 15 and 20 seconds, can often disrupt the viewing experience. With YouTube Premium, users can enjoy their videos without interruptions and have a seamless viewing experience.

Another handy feature of YouTube Premium is the ability to play videos in the background. This is especially useful for smartphone users who like to listen to podcasts, music playlists, or even educational videos while using other apps or with their screens turned off. Additionally, users can download videos for offline viewing, making it convenient for those who travel frequently or have limited internet access.

The inclusion of YouTube Music in the package is another highlight. With this, users gain access to a dedicated music streaming app that offers millions of tracks, curated playlists, and personalised recommendations — all without ads.
