Do you charge an install fee?
If you switch from another provider with compatible cabling we will completely waive the install fee. If you don't have existing service or compatible wiring then you just pay our cost to cover the equipment to be installed at your home or business. Most internet dishes needed for service on your home or business cost between $100-$300 depending how far from a tower you are and what speed you want. We will also work with you if need to spread out the equipment fee over a few months.
