I do some work occasionally for a national outsource company. This is not some major telecom provider, just a agency that ask for bids from subcontractors to do smaller work, like hook up DSL or routers, or run cabeling, or troubleshoot a server. The bids they ask start really low.
What would you charge for something like this?
Vancouver IS one of the most expensive cities in the world. 50 dollars for a job like this is chump chance.
