Order

Make sure that the remaining duration of the contract with your previous operator covers the same period as your new Salt Home contract.

Send a copy of your previous operator's (optical fibre, ADSL or cable) termination confirmation to fiber.2@salt.ch. (do not use this e-mail for any other requests as they might not be processed). In the subject line of the e-mail, please indicate your Salt billing account number (starting with 30 or 31 followed by 6 digits).

Your request will be processed as soon as the Salt invoice has been issued and you have submitted a copy of your previous operator's termination confirmation.

Note:
Please pay your Salt invoices while waiting for our answer. After approval of your request, you will be granted an adjustment of the corresponding amount on your next invoice.

After ordering Salt Home, you must terminate your contract with your current provider.

You can use the termination letter templates available on our website.

Important: before cancelling please check the terms and conditions of your current contract (notification period and the early termination fees). Should you have any question with this regard, please contact your current provider directly.

Tip: if you want to make sure you will have no early termination fees to pay, please indicate your current contract end date as wish date for the Salt Home activation when ordering.

If you cancel your Salt Home order before your services are activated, you will be charged an amount of CHF 199.95.

There is an activation fee for the Salt Home activation service. The Salt Home offer is available with or without TV services. When selecting the TV services, please choose the language of the TV services. The TV services are provided with an Apple TV 4K, offered free of charge.

The activation fee is:

• CHF 1.-: without TV services (only connection, administrative procedures, complete equipment, installation of the fiber-optic outlet by an electrician if necessary).
• CHF 99.95: with TV service
• CHF 98.95: later activation of TV services.

After the order is completed and validated, the activation date is communicated to you via email.

If you cannot find the email in your inbox, please check the spam folder.

You can also follow the activation status in My Account → Subscriptions.

If there is already an optical outlet at your place, please provide us with your OTO-ID when you order, to speed up the activation process.

The activation with an OTO-ID requires 3 to 20 days. If you do not provide an OTO-ID or if you provide us with an incorrect OTO-ID, the activation will be delayed.

If you do not have an optical outlet, an electrician must install one in your home. In this case, the Salt Home installation and activation process can take up to 7 weeks.

If you know your OTO-ID, go to your customer account (Subscriptions → Internet) and enter the number displayed on your OTO outlet.

If you don’t know or can’t find your OTO-ID please reply to the email “Your request to Salt Home”.

Kindly note that this number is mandatory in order to activate your fibre optic connection.

To install Salt Home for free, discover our tutorial videos on this page.

If you require the assistance of a Salt technician at your home, you will be charged CHF 199.95 for this optional service.

It includes:

• Fiber connection check-up
• Unpacking and installation of your Fiber Box
• Setup of the connection to your computer
• Setup of the connection to your Apple TV 4K
• Connection of your DECT telephone
• Demonstration of the Salt TV interface & service

You can request this optional service separately during the order process or by contacting our customer care service on 0800 700 500.

In most cases, this service is included in the activation fee. However, in some special cases (condominium building, single-family home, division of a property, construction of an additional apartment, etc.) you may be charged for additional costs for the installation of the fibre optic plug.

If you wish to move an already existing optical fibre outlet to a different room, the removal and reinstallation are not included in this service and will be at your cost.

The service includes exclusively the installation of the optical fibre outlet (and not the device setup).

The installation costs are approximately CHF 400.- to CHF 800.-.
