527235 2007-02-23 20:17:00 There are many farmers who would benefit from this service, and wealthy enough to afford it. Being able to do internet banking would be reason enough for them to sign up.

They do have to pay out big to get started, and get an assurance from family members not to download video files or any other large amounts of data. :eek: $$$$$

I am not sure what the definition of "main centre" is, but I would think many farmers would be far away...

INSTALLATION COSTS
$399.00 + GST for anywhere within city limits.
$499.00 + GST within 30km from nearest main centre.
$1.00 + GST Per km outside 30km zone both ways.

Please note a 24 month term and early termination fee apply.

Yeah I'm not sure if they mean Invercargill or whether Gore counts too.
If Gore the lady who has signed up first is within 30km.

There are lots of little rural locations but not all of them are further than 30km, even if it means Invercargill itself.
