QNet’s fibre leasing process is simple. Legal documents are short and easy to understand, and lease rates are uncomplicated, predictable and in some cases, negotiable.
Rates:
- Typical lease rates are $400 per month with a one-time connection fee of $800.
- For wireless providers, typical point-to-point fibre leases up to five kilometres between end points are $500 per month per strand.
- QNet pays for all costs associated with installing a fibre optic connection to a building.
Process:
- QNet is requested to connect a building to the fibre optic network.
- QNet assesses the feasibility of providing the connection depending on the distance from our current network.
- If the connection is possible, a service order is prepared.
- Once the terms of the service order have been agreed to by QNet and the requesting party, the fibre optic installation is commissioned.
