Your price was a little low @ $850. That would just about cover the cost of the wiring. You could've charged a seperate price for installing the modems and the hub. Usually the contractor (you) are responsible for certification. Live and learn. Question is, do you feel you were paid fairly? The price you were told for going rate is about right depending on your experience and conditions. Hope this helps.(smile)
