Well Sonic wants us to vote with our money which is understandable from a business perspective but nobody sane will switch from an existing ISP ( whatever it is ) unless the gains are clearly visible ( aka faster speed or lower bill ) , people are creatures of ha\bit and convenience . Said that people will need a GOOD , WORKING alternative before they switch and sadly as much as I hate to say it a promise of possible fiber roll out if X amount of people sign up is not that especially given that some of us have been waiting for faster internet for quiet some time already . When sonic can deliver instant gratification when it comes to faster service that's when sonic will gain customers interested in jumping the ship ... promising somebody something and giving it to them are two different things and users don't really care much for promises , what they do care is what they get in return for their investment !
I think a lot of folks who are too far from the CO to get VDSL to the CO are signing up for FTTN and FTTNX2 and seeing a big benefit from that. I don't know if a FTTN customer counts as a vote for FTTH or not, but I've certainly mentioned it to a couple of my neighbors.pockyken007 wrote:Well Sonic wants us to vote with our money which is understandable from a business perspective but nobody sane will switch from an existing ISP ( whatever it is ) unless the gains are clearly visible ( aka faster speed or lower bill ) , people are creatures of ha\bit and convenience .
