Jio has not offered any clarity on when the Jio Fiber outage issue will be fixed, or what is causing it. Several users have complained to JioCare since yesterday, but they still have no connectivity . Some even claim that they haven't been able to get in touch with the support team, and the call centre number is unanswered, with wait time for as long as 15 minutes. The live chat feature offered by Jio Fiber users also does not seem to elicit any response for some subscribers.

The network outage for longer than a day is a cause of big worry for many Jio Fiber subscribers, as several customers are still working from home and depend on the Internet heavily due to social distancing measures.
