It is an Industry Canada, Telesat and Xplornet requirement to have a professionally certified Xplornet installer complete your Xplornet satellite installation. You should always request a written estimate from your authorized Xplornet certified installer.
Note: Installing network software and hardware is outside the scope of an Xpress installation. Some authorized Xplornet installers have the necessary skills to provide networking services and will provide you with a cost estimate for network setup. Xplornet strongly recommends that customers scan their computer for viruses prior to Satellite system installation.
