Looks like only me paying! but in saying that I have been told it will cost £630 for this year and thinking on 75 Ha do I need it? At least I can say I have tried it. But after Friday Night I will probably be acquiring that big farm up in Lincolnshire that's for sale and will think £630 is "CHEEP" (oh stop the puns)
Any ideas why members are so shy of indicating where they are from in there avatars? @Nostalgic

Think it's £650 here although can't remember to be fair. Well worth it IMO.

I think about 11-12 hundred a year for a multi network sim.

Mine is RTK Farming. They are getting quite a wide spread over the Country but as for yourself, No idea what part of the country or even world you are from. R Ps didn't win the Lottery so out of the market for that Lincolnshire farm.

Hmmm, pretty substantial variation in sub pricing, from £500 neighbour shared (presume UHF radio) to £1200 on NTRIP (presume part of a national network).

That’s pretty cheap for TopNET. I’ve heard other Topcon dealers wanting £950 per year for the same thing.
I have set up an account direct with topcon so I'm not going through a dealer. The prices I was quoted are below:

I was quoted £625 a year for the signal and a roaming sim by RTK farming.

Pretty handy markup for the dealers then!

The theory behind a roaming SIM is that it will lock onto the strongest mobile signal in the area, such that you are not constrained to one particular network operator if their signal is rubbish in that area. Saying that if you know a particular network is good (or bad) (for data) in a given area you can just use a regular network SIM card which will be cheaper. Horses for courses.
I didn't know RTK farming were into vrs, I thought they were fixed base stations only.

Iirc we paid 650 Euro in December for JD’s RTK signal for a year. Probably ought to shop around as we’re unlocked for any signal.
