I don't know how much it would cost, to install an optic fibre from the node to the premises. Maybe the government can subsidize the cost for people that want it, to make it affordable. Jevan.

I suspect that what will probably work is people who are on a Centrelink payment such as unemployed, disability, or retired, since they can benefit from me and since it allows me to give back to Centrelink, and also, if female friends then age 49+ and less attractive so that they will find me attractive, also probably overweight since I am overweight. However I can also work with highly skilled people since I can make use of what I get from them that is useful for me to be able to work with interesting concepts.
