I'm in the sunset area and have dual bonded fusion but i don't get near the advertised 40mbps speeds.
I seriously neeeeed that 1gbps pipe! :)
Someone objected to the installation, so I believe the next step is a public hearing. We're waiting on that scheduling now.
I guess; it probably the AT&T or other ISP providers who object the installation. They probably do not want Sonic to get ahead of them.
I am fully supporting Sonic on the fiber installation for pushing the technology in San Francisco. In fact, for being the most advanced city of the world, San Francisco is already behind other Asia cities where already have fiber few years ago.
Don't be so cynical. AT&T isn't swift enough to run an astroturf campaign against Sonic Fiber, and I doubt highly that the remaining "other" ISPs that are still in business are so petty.
But given the delays, which must cost a bundle, I would think the cause for independent/muni FTTH would be greatly served if there were overflow crowds on the "yes" side showing up to these public hearings, enough to get media coverage. Make some noise! Carry signs! Be heard! Make it more than just a Sonic issue.
