connection fees

Setup service costs

Connection fees are charges for establishing service—linking a customer to a utility, network, or system.

Internet providers, phone companies, and utilities commonly assess them when setting up new accounts: The connection fee for electricity was waived if we signed a two-year contract.

Sometimes called hookup fees or activation fees.
