Also Vodem would be a very expensive alternative, there are cheaper wireless services out there. |

And I'd believe that speed, ignore Telecom they never admit anything. Theres tons of rural people here getting complete rubbish dial up. |

| 560952 | 2007-06-20 23:55:00 | On that note actually, had you considered getting somebody you know nearby with broadband, and chucking directional aerials in? It would probably need a professional to install it though. Those aerials/dishes can throw a network over 10km line of sight now.:thumbs: |

| 560953 | 2007-06-21 00:20:00 | lol it'd probably be only marginally cheaper than running 10km of fibre optic though (just kidding, wireless is the way to go, provided it works, which it may only do intermittently depending on weather) |

Here in nelson there is a guy, who, if you pay $1200 i think it is, will guarntee you to get wireless working over any distance under 8km, provided it is line of sight and theres no snow involved. (he provides equipment). Rain will cause problems though, if it's a long way. |
