[LINK] ‘We have been cheated’: Australia's biggest cities dudded with inferior NBN

[Jevan Pipitone]

I think it would be good have an option for a customer to be able to pay 
for fibre to the premises (FTTP) to be installed, we presently have the 
slower fibre to the node (FTTN). 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.

I am here for online friends, hobbies, volunteer work, and working on 
business ideas, and I am on Centrelink Disability Support Pension 
(Schizophrenia & Aspergers). 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. Me:
