Did my Mother overpay for a simple ethernet job? (alien.top)

My Mother hired a licensed electrician to install 1 ethernet drop in her home office. She already had a preexisting tp-link setup in the basement. She showed me the invoice today which totaled $958.00! I'm shocked and disgusted. Feels like they took advantage of my Mother.

I told my Mother to call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they possibly made a mistake. If not, I advised her to never do business with that company again. This seems like highway robbery. Is there anything else she can do?

I also just ended up doing it myself.

But if it was something I had to hire out, I almost definitely would have had to just hire a normal electrician.
