Would love to see this happen, as a long time Sonic customer, it would be another plus in the rebuild column.
Paying AT&T so i can access Sonic is a thorn in my side and has been for years.
I wonder if anyone over at https://coffeystrong.com/ is thinking of this

The two incumbents (AT&T and Comcast) got to be in the joint trench for free, when the subdivision is developed. And now that it is being re-built, they get insurance coverage to pay for their re-build. Sonic cannot join without taking 25% of the cost of the entire utility re-build, and we have no insurance to tap to cover this.

The fix is for the City and County to put into place a dig once policy, meaning the municipality would then have conduit added to the trench while it is open. There's little additional cost to add a pipe while the ground is open, and then the municipality can decide who can use that conduit in the future.

This type of dig once policy in Brentwood has led to 11,000 homes now fiber connected by Sonic, with gigabit service.
Thank you for your detailed responses, Dane. I'll be reaching out as a resident to see if anyone at the city or the county are willing to help. It would be great if we could add Sonic to our options in Coffey Park.

Meeting with the organizers of the Coffey Strong group on a Monday night to discuss challenges and paths forward?

Dane--who can I work with at Sonic on this process? I'd love to talk to someone directly at Sonic.
