Unfortunately, as the fee is charged to us we are unable to waive or discount the fee. Any NDC must be paid before we can order the internet connection.
While you may wish to raise the cost of the NDC with your Landlord or Real Estate Agent, we will require you to make payment on the fee to us before we can proceed with your order. We are unable to communicate or negotiate with a third party about the NDC.
Standard activation fees will apply depending upon your service type.
