Morning you beautiful fuckers :mechanical_arm:
If I can bother you for a moment I have a few questions, @SIGSTART I think you can help me or if anyone else knows something please share,

My question is what is the installation fee from coolideas? And if possible can you pay it in installments or just once off?


Is the activation fee also once off with the package or can you also pay off in installments?

Basically what I want to know it do I need the package and activation and/or installation cash to get fiber?

Bel hulle en check, myne was so R2500 vir installation. maar hulle moes grawe om by die huis te kom, gewoonlik cover hulle n deel en jy betaal net die ekstra.

so ver ek weet is alles once off - maar jy kan met hulle chat en kyk of hulle payment plans doen. Die activation fee is gewoonlik die installation fee - dit sluit die router in

Jy gaan hulle moet bel dan om te hoor wat die charges is. Toe ek fibre die eerste keer gekry het het ek a 2 jaar kontrak gevat wat daai fee gecover het…maar dan is jy locked in vir 2 jaar so as die netwerk crap raak is jy stuck. jy kan wel vroeer kanselleer maar dan betaal jy pro rata van wat oor is van daai installation fee met hoeveel maande daar nog oor is in die kontrak.

Activation/installation fees are all once-off.

However, many ISPs run promotions where they will waive the activation fee so long as you stay with them for 12 months. If you cancel within the first 12 months, then you have to pay the activation fee.

Vox also has a set of “Pro” accounts where you don’t have to pay the activation fee and get free unlimited national calls using their Vobi VOIP app, but it costs more per month than their “Basic” accounts.

The standard activation fee on Frogfoot always was R1750. It’s interesting that RocketNet is charging R1500.

Frogfoot told me not so long ago that the activation fee includes 50m of trenching from your nearest boundary box to your house.

The installation can become more expensive if the contractor has to trench further than that to pull the actual fibre into your house.

The sub-contractor that did my install brought the final plans and costs to me for final sign-off before he went ahead, though. So there shouldn’t be any surprises as long as Frogfoot assigns a decent sub-contractor.

Called Coolideas now and they said there’s not connection fee and no installation. So I’m guess I’m going to go with them on this one

Just check the fine print. It’s almost guaranteed that they don’t charge an installation fee so long as you stay with them for 12 months.
