So as a few of you know I recently got fibre installed.
My cousin is "partnered" with an ISP and I signed up with him because I thought it seemed logical at the time but now he's potentially overcharging me for something I could be getting for cheaper if I go directly to the source. I'm not stupid I obviously did my homework with regards to pricing. I only asked him about upgrading at the end of September.
I think the only reason the 100/100 is marked up so high is because I asked him for an estimate and he gave me Octotel's pricing for the 100/100 which is the same as the /25.
100/25Mbps (This is not much of a difference)
Axxess: R1195
His price: R1205
100/100Mbps (This is just daylight robbery)
Axxess: R1195
His price: R1546
200/200Mbps (This is what we could be getting for what he wants to charge us)
Axxess: R1445
I don't mind him putting a markup on it but it's actually pretty steep and it's the difference between us getting 20Mbps vs 100Mbps.
I could be going for 200/200Mbps for the amount that he wants to charge us.
I could really use someones advice in this situation.
