Are only new customers getting the price of $40/mo now? To add to that, new customers seem to get first 6 months free apparently from the advertisement that I received at my workplace. I don't think I ever even got 1 month free when I signed up for Sonic 5 years ago for $53/mo (after taxes) lol.
This is really Sonic's way of rewarding long term customers. They throw out bait for 6 months free to only new customers. I've seen the ads too but I don't qualify because I am an existing customer. I guess that makes sense.
Also it's pretty much a semantics game with the 40/month advertising. Service is 50/month. If you rent a 10 dollar modem, they take 10 off the 50 base price, so they can technically (I guess) advertise service costs 40, but there's a 10 dollar modem add-on to that. The result is a 50 dollar + taxes bill either way.
