| 431937 | 2006-02-18 10:11:00 | Hi I was until this month connected to telecoms wireless service under the PROBE scheme which basically meant that everything was half price. This meant that the install including the modem and antenna was round about 800$ from memory and 2g monthly download allowance at 256k for 70$/month. I found the service to be rock solid and dependable and the speed was always at the maximum stated. |

| 431938 | 2006-02-18 19:46:00 | Whats the Probe scheme? I'm going to have to get wireless. Apparently while I am in the 'geen zone" they still have to come and check for certain and charge $475 regardless. |

| 431941 | 2006-02-18 22:05:00 | PROBE www.telecom.co.nz Thought of bordernet satelite? Doesn't include Southland...although its available there. Satelite is an even worse price....Xtra seems to be the cheapest, not counting Woosh which A) Isn't available there yet B)Sucks. |

IF you cant access PROBE then as I see it you are looking at 1500$ install and: oh i see they have halved their monthly charges from when I got connected Have you seen Bordernets Prices ? www.bordernet.co.nz |

So up is dial up. Vsat is not, but its more expensive. Anyway I don't care about the $1500, so long as I can get it.....dial up would suck after 2MBps.... |
