Getting Ready for Your Bell MTS Internet Installation
The Bell MTS installer will be in your home for approximately 3 to 8 hours, depending on the services you have ordered. You will receive a reminder call the day prior to your installation.
If you live in a community using the Bell MTS Fibre Optic Network, please visit Bell MTS FiON® Network Installation - Temporary and Buried Drops for more information.
Before we arrive, please check:

Note:
If you rent your residence, you must make prior arrangements to gain access to the phone room and obtain permission from your landlord (written permission from the landlord is required for any exposed wiring or drilling).

- Pets are restrained or removed from the work area(s) including the yard(s).
- All items are removed (knick-knacks/pictures/etc.) from the installer work areas.
- If you have a finished basement, you must be able to remove any removable ceiling tiles or be prepared for exposed wiring. Bell MTS cannot remove ceiling tiles or cut holes into finished ceilings. Concealed wiring will also limit installation options.
