Without a routeing guide handy there may be things i've missed but
the following stand out-
From Wokingham you can buy a ticket valid via Guildford-from Earley you can't unless you pay the full Paddington via Reading price
From Mortimer you can't buy a ticket valid both via Basingstoke or Reading-but from Basingstoke you can-so buy that!
From Basingstoke the difference between the via Woking and Any Permitted fares is negligible - a lot of people will trade up and SWT revenue will be less
The fares from Crowthorne, Sandhurst and Blackwater appear not to allow walking between Farnborough North and Farnborough or North Camp and Ash Vale
North Camp costs more to London than Blackwater, Sandhurst, Crowthorne and even Wokingham so if you want to travel via Guildford choose another station to buy from
If you want to travel from Wokingham to London its cheaper from Ash (route not via Reading)
Shalford looks like its valid via Guildford or Dorking or Redhill and would be better value for Chilworth and Gomshall
Bagshot slightly cheaper than Camberley and Frimley
The biggest surprise was Basingstoke
