Reliance Jio has earlier tested this wi-fi and achieved up to 50 mbps speed consistently. It means users are going to get good connectivity. Good thing is that this wi-fi is unlimited and is completely free for the whole year.
With this step, Kolkata has joined cities like Singapore and Taipei which also offer free wi-fi service.
Chief Minister Mamta banerjee tweeted about this launch with hashtag #WiFiKolkata.
All my WiFi friends, I am tweeting using #WiFiKolkata. So proud to be first WiFi Metro city in India. Congratulations to us all

“From February 5 a free 4G Wi-Fi internet service will be offered at the Park Street and its surrounding areas. And within next two months the whole of Kolkata will enjoy the free service.” Mamta banerjee said at the 39th International Kolkata Literature Festival.
New Delhi also has two spots Khan Market and Cannaught Place where users can enjoy free wifi for few minutes. But Kolkata has offered this for free for a year.
