I am very happy with the work they have done! Quote was reasonable, communication was fast and clear. Bradley and Mike came to my propery and finished the work on time (installing ethernet cables to all floors), cleaned up and very pleasant to interact with them. They answered all my questions well, and communicated frequently to accomodate my needs. Highly recommend!!

Running Cables did an extraordinary job! Every single one of my requests (even last minute changes) were done with excellence. For me, they ran ethernet cables to various rooms of my house and terminated them into ports. Their work is very neat, tidy, and professional.

Really happy with the service and the job the running cables team did. The whole process was smooth and they worked with me from the get go, to understand exactly what I wanted (sorry for all the emails and questions haha). They started on-time, cleaned up afterwards and finished faster than expected. All in all, I am super happy with my little home network setup and highly recommended the Running Cables Team if you need to run cables for your home or business. Thanks again Running Cables!

I apologize in the delay for this review. It should have been done last year July 2023. Randy was so helpful and patient to facilitate our job. Brad and I kept going back and forth on how many cables I wanted to run, what I was expecting, where was it going to be run, etc...so many emails with questions and not once was there a rude tone or sound of frustration or agitation on any of the calls. They really put my mind at ease. They were kind to call/email me back with a response really quickly. This action in itself speaks volumes. To date, everything is running smoothly. My spouse can work from home, my child can do their school work, I can do my work with minimal disruptions. They solved many of our "WIFI" signal issues in certain areas of our home. Hard-wiring is so much better than using "WIFI extenders." Will definitely use them again! Thank you for everything!

I used running cables for a Starlink installation. They were professional from engagement to implementation. The installer, Brad and his colleague were very professional, patient and took their time to ensure the job was done to the highest quality. We had an issue with the wrong part ordered and they were happy to come back to rectify the installation.

Quick reply from Randy after initial inquiry sent. Brad was patient and efficient through the quote phase and did an excellent job running the wiring and installing the ethernet ports. The work was done efficiently, neatly and with no mess. Randy followed up after the work was completely to ensure I was satisfied. Highly recommend

I was looking for a company that could help me install an ethernet cable going from the ground floor down to the basement below, which would need to travel down through an exterior wall. I contacted a couple of companies but felt they were overcharging for the type of work involved. I then contacted Running Cables and appreciated their prompt communication and professionalism. They also went above and beyond by agreeing to arrive at my house at 7am to accommodate my schedule. They showed up on time, did good work, patched up my wall and ceiling, and cleaned up. 10/10 would recommend them.

Amazing service, they did the install exactly as I was hoping for. They relocated the coax, and installed several cat-6 lines through our home. We have an old home, with many quirks, but they were able to do everything I wanted. They were friendly, responsive, g and very professional. They even did the job in half the time, and for less cost than they originally quoted (which is a first for me!) Definitely recommend!

Call this one a "six months later review" or just a "fashionably late to get this one up" review.I connected with Jonathan a few days before our installation on Dec 23rd, 2021. I covered what we were hoping to achieve with his team. It was a growing concern for us with the number of wires we had lying around in our family room that was fully exposed. We also had severe issues with the opposite side of the house not receiving Wi-Fi signals. Finally, Wi-Fi kept tripping while playing online games from the basement, and could we hardwire a point to gain access to a stronger signal.After listening attentively to all of our concerns, Jonathan, step by step, took me through the various solutions/options that we could consider. Ultimately, he could not guarantee the strength of the Wi-Fi due to multiple factors outside of the cable plans. This included the network hardware I was using, the provider we had, what internet plan we were on, etc.He took the time to relay the information to his team, and they were able to provide a detailed quote which to me felt very fair for the work that needed to be completed. Overall, it would take a half-day. By the way, Jonathan is highly accessible – every time I called or texted with a question, he responded promptly. We even had a video chat so I could walk him through the house so he could assess what his team would be dealing with.We agreed on a course of action, and fortunately for me, he had a cancellation that week itself. His team was able to come in sooner than expected. His team carefully cleaned up all the protruding wirework, sealed up the holes where the cables were coming from and cleaned up the living room of any further nuisance from the wires. They then went to work fishing cables through the basement to the centralized location that we thought would be the best fit for our family.The team did an excellent job of helping us get a super clean look with the finished product. Everything is now hidden behind the bookshelf. The hardwired cable is now available for the gaming console. The best news of all, even 6 months later, the Wi-Fi works throughout the house, and there are no more empty pockets of space.Jonathan and the Running Cables crew – thank you, folks, so much for all your support and dedication. Also, I highly appreciate the follow-up from Randy to check in on how things ended up post-installation. These folks know how to take care of their clients. With no hesitation whatsoever, would I ever not recommend this team for your residential services!

About Running Cables

Running Cables began in 2012 with founder, Jonathan Running. However, the trade was not unfamiliar to Jonathan. His father and grandfather had careers in the industry connecting generations of cabling expertise.

Generations of Cable Installation

Jonathan's father learned the trade from his father, eventually establishing his own cable installation company at the age of 20.

Frequently Asked Questions

Like most trades, the cost to run an ethernet cable or the cost of structured cabling will depend on many factors including product quality, size of workspace, and performance expectations.

Generic Brands have cable that ranges from $0.25 to $0.30 per foot and $2.00-$4.00 per jack. Certifiable brands usually cost $.30 to $0.60 per foot of cable (Cat6) and $8.00 to $18.00 for a network jack.

Additionally, labour rates and travel will be included in the cost.

To learn more about pricing, and to use our online pricing calculator visit our Residential Pricing page or our Commercial Pricing page.

The ideal location for mounting a Starlink dish involves finding an unobstructed view of the sky with minimal interference from buildings, trees, or other obstacles for optimal performance.

Cat7 is faster than Cat6 however it is often mistaken to be faster than Cat6a.  Cat7 is a proprietary standard created by a group of companies and is not recognized by the TIA/EIA standards in which we follow in North America. If you’re looking for a speed that is almost identical to Cat7 that meets TIA standards than it is recommended, you use Cat6a cables as they both can send data at 10Gbps over 100 meters.

If you want to remove the risk of intermittent signals which cause buffering or signal-drops than having ethernet hard-wired will eliminate that problem.  If you’re paying for a high-speed internet connection, only a percentage of your internet speed is reached through Wi-Fi. With ethernet cable you can access the full speed of the internet provider.

Yes, but only if they are properly trained and have proper testing equipment.

Though data cabling is a form of low voltage and in the electrical family it is a different set of training and testers and is knowledge-based required. Some electrical companies have invested in training their staff on network cabling but unfortunately there are a lot of companies who offer it and who have not properly trained their staff.

To ensure they are qualified, make sure they have a qualified certification tester to test their cabling and they have knowledge of the TIA standards.
