connection fee
Service initiation cost
A connection fee is a one-time charge for establishing service—typically for utilities, telecommunications, or internet.
The fee covers administrative costs or physical installation: The cable company waived the connection fee for new customers.
Distinguished from recurring monthly charges, connection fees appear only on the first bill or at signup.
