My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I’m shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.
I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?
I knew a friend of a friend who used to do tons of Ethernet drops at a hospital, which he stopped doing and does office IT work nowadays. When I bought a house, I asked him for his rate per drop. I paid $1500 for 13 Ethernet drops, and he even brought/sold to me a $200 switch panel (likely barely used hospital gear that was being thrown out) for $50. He also installed and labeled all my drops.
