I see Sonic vans in my SF neighborhood on a daily basis with enticing advertisements on the side offering gigabit fiber for $40 (*) I can see the fibers running to houses less than 30 feet away from mine.
But when I go to sonic.net and fill in the form, it tells me "Congratulations!! you can get 20mbit DSL!!".
It's kinda frustrating to be offered slower internet service than I currently have in such a cheery fashion.
This is presumably because our little dead-end street has underground utilities and no overhead wiring poles. So, I'm apparently stuck with Comcast.
But... one of the Sonic van drivers told me "we could maybe string a fiber to that pole over there and get to your house, but we'd need to get permission" .. However, I have found it impossible to speak to anybody technical about whether there is any way to run a fiber to my property.
Is there any was to speak to somebody at Sonic who can tell me anything other than what I can already see on the web site?
