In the past when I plugged in my address in 94541 to the qual tool, I was told service wasn't available. Now it is offering pre-ordering of 10 GBps fiber for $39.99/month or Sonic over AT&T fiber for "$39.99/month" - which however turns into $55.99/month + $9.50/month for a WiFi gateway when I click through that link (plus, I assume, the usual $10+/month telephone taxes & fees). Am I required to pay for the WiFi gateway (which I definitely do not need)?
What does the 10 GBps pre-order option imply - what service, if any, would I actually get now if I signed up for it? I see no sign of Sonic expanding their network to Hayward in the forums, and there's no indication of how long I might be waiting. Is this just holding a place in line?
The Sonic over AT&T order page shows the following, but what is a "Fiber Pre-Order Special until you upgrade"? Does that mean this price will continue until Sonic rolls its own fiber here?

Finally, how much input do I have over where the fiber comes into the house? I assume that Sonic over AT&T implies an AT&T installer. Currently cable is routed under the house and comes up in a hall closet, from whence there's an cable patch panel to get signal to my office. But the house has no internal optical fiber or ethernet wiring, and I need a hardwired solution running to my office.
AT&T's pricing is more comprehensible. They charge $80/month for fiber and a WiFi gateway, without any add-ons, and kick back $250 in gift cards.
