R875.00 for flicking a switch?

Sorry I can't give you ZERO. I wanted to change ISP but have Vumatel as the area fibre supplier. Because of this I would have to pay an 'activation' fee of R875.00 to Vumatel simply to switch ISPs. Vumatel is the only supplier to make this charge. What is it for? Vumatel is already the most expensive supplier. Time we had a decent department overseeing Comms.
