Pre - Wire New Home - Reasonable price or NOT ?

Page 1 of 1
hi there

Just got a quote from someone to pre wire my home

2 Phone Lines @100 each
7 Data Lines @110 each
2 TV Outlet @100 each
2 Foxtel TV Outlet @100 each
1 RG6 cable to Hub @100 each
3 Data Lines to hub ( 1 phone, 1 Internet, 1 Media )
2 TV Outlet re-run to Hub @100 each
1 Star Serve Hub @500

Total 2470

is that reasonable price ?
TV points $60
Austar TV points $60

I dont know what data lines are...
That's a bit steep if no plasterboard has been put up!

Here's what i paid during pre-wire:

Phone Point = 55 ea
TV Point = 50 ea

not sure about the others as we didn't do those. At the end of the day...think...if it is pre-wire, it's just simply running a cable and maybe drilling thru a couple of noggins, so your 'extras' will take about 3hrs? I wish I earnt that kinda cash for that little time...
thanks guys, do you have any suggestion the people can do the smart wiring with reasonable price, any help would be helpful.

industry standard is $125 per run, for any runs over 4 points it works out to be cheaper "per run"
