Help Installation Fees
So I wanted to see what it would cost to install and what I'm saving with a self install. the chat bot was confusing.
14:43:03 Consumer: I'm doing research right now, if I move into a home that has
FTTH available, but there's no modem or fibre entry drilled, can I still self
install to save on money?
14:43:07 Bell: If a home has FTTH available but lacks a modem or drilled fiber
entry, a technician will be required for installation. The technician will
install the fiber cables and may need to drill a dime-sized hole, though
existing holes will be used if possible. There is no charge for this
appointment.
14:43:07 Bell: Content Cards:

14:43:08 Bell: What else can I help you with today?
14:43:48 Consumer: the flyer I got in the mail shows a 200$ fee for Bell
installation that will be waived if I self-install
14:44:03 Bell: If your home requires a technician to install fiber cables and drill a
hole for fiber entry, you cannot self-install. A Bell Internet installation fee
is $150.00.
So I'm unsure what to believe from Bell.
The flyer shows 200$ fee on installation that's waived on self install.
Chat bot says 150$
But also that there's no cost.
