That installation fee was a scam of the highest order. You wanna know why they originally charged for it for 1Gbps customers only? Because at the time the network was not setup enough to handle the bandwidth allocation, so they hoped to scare off most people from wanting it with the $200 install fee. Eventually once the plant was upgraded they dropped the fee.
