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?

      What location? I’d love to do the whole house for this price. I actually have Cat5e right now but for some reason it drops to 100Mbps sometimes while other times it gets up to 1Gbps. This was used for phone lines before so it’s all daisy chained too. Thinking it might be better to replace everything with cat6a cabling that goes to one central location in the basement and be done with it. I’m in Chicagoland area.
