LAMORINDA wants Fiber - Dane get us some love!

[Mgagnon]

I would love to have a real excuse to drop comcast, bit it is the only gigabit option in the area. I am in Moraga, and will join immediately once fiber is available

Moraga Country Club needs fiber internet 94556

I live in the Concord/Clayton border and am tired of the poor internet. Currently have FTTN. Would love more upgrade options.

We've got a lot of people interested and many came over here from my Nextdoor post to let you all know it.

Hi Dane,

I'm a current Fiber user in south Berkeley, and have had it now for just a year. It was tough waiting for it, but it has been such a great product.

Unfortunately, Berkeley sucks to live in, and I am moving to Lafayette soon.

I am very sad to have to give Comcast my business again. Please make your way over the hills asap. These folks and myself would really love your super low latency fiber! Nothing else can compete!

If this isn't a technical possibility, please let us know.

Thank you for your time!

Another LONG time Sonic customer (DSL then Fiber) moving to Moraga. Currently Sander Ranch has no fiber option at all - only Comcast coax. I'm sure if Sonic were to provide Fiber in the area, the majority of homes would switch. There is pent-up demand for fiber in the area.

PLEASE give Moraga some sweet fiber love!

Do any residents know the City’s deployment policies there? Do the try to block competitive development, or do they welcome it?

Some cities block fiber construction by disallowing installation of safety bypass poles when they’re needed, or even ANY aerial construction by new public utilities like Sonic. Many do not allow microtrenching, and some done even allow trenchless directional boring.

If you’re interested in expansion to your city, do inquire with City leadership, because we are finding many cities are using a variety of tactics to stop new broadband construction. It’s unfortunate.

Does Sonic have a set of questions to use when enquiring/interacting with city governments?

Also, +1 for Lafayette (Happy Valley area). Grateful to have the (now grandfathered I guess) resold AT&T 1G symmetric service through Sonic, hope it doesn't get sunsetted anytime soon because I'm not real happy with any of the alternatives.

Bruce.
