ATT FTTP 100/100 from Sonic?

[JDL]

AT&T offers FFTP with symmetric 100/100Mbps at my house for the same price I am paying Sonic for 50/6Mbps (maybe even less as I end up paying $88/mo for my "$50/mo" Sonic service). I really like Sonic, but it is very difficult to justify staying with this service level given the other options available.

Can Sonic resell this service? Even if it costs me a little more, I would prefer to use Sonic.

We are in discussions to obtain this, and/or the 75Mbps product, but haven't gotten to a completed agreement yet. We're continuing to push!

Dane,

Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for working on this. The 75Mbps product would be an improvement, but as you know it is not a symmetrical link (unless you are talking about a different 75Mbps product). I may be in the minority, but upstream bandwidth is very important to me so I would prefer a symmetric link.

I appreciate you all continuing to work various angles to offer more services, it's good to hear these negotiations are happening.

Since I really miss the 150mbps I had with Comcast, I’m glad to hear that you’re pushing to make sure those of us that can only get your service via ATT can get faster speeds.

Dane, please keep us updated as much as possible on that front, as while I’d prefer to have your gigabit service in San Jose, I could live with 75-100mbps speeds while you work on expanding your gigabit service as long as it means I don’t have to deal with the greedy people at Comcast or Att again.

Hello Dane,

I would like to join those who are cheering you on, as you move to get similar speeds of service that AT&T is offering at similar prices.

It would be so good to be able to rely on your company's promises on service and privacy as rated by EFF --- AND to have good speeds and competitive pricing, soon. Wouldn't that be great?

1) Do you have any guidance to offer on how long getting a better Sonic solution than 50Mbs / second down in Mountain View 94040 and 94041. We have Fiber here. 2 months - 6 months?

2) Do you have any idea when we might be able to "bring our own modem" to your FTTN offers?

3) Is it currently possible to have the AT&T provided gateway / modem installed with all Gateway services OFF - WiFi OFF, Firewall OFF, NAT off etc?

I see that there are several threads on the AT&T Community Forum on how many users have worked to get reliable stable internet connection on AT&T- with AT&T's supplied modems, The threads and settings are found by searching on "passthrough mode" or "bridge mode" on the AT&T Community Forum.

History: The reason I ask, is that I have had AT&T Uverse service at this address two years ago and it was intermittent in real world testing, as documented by months of running Network Logger.

And AT&T was not able to successfully get either of their mandated modems to work properly.

After a year of "best efforts" I dropped AT&T Uverse, though line quality test here had excellent signal to noise.

When I went to Comcast, (which has it's own service and support issues) at least I got twice the speed for about half the price from Comcast / Xfinity per DSLReports Speed Testing history. I have 70 Mbps down and 6 Mbs back and excellent line quality, quick pings and A or B Bufferbloat scores.

On the other hand, I would love have Sonic service quality, and privacy policies and competitive speeds and prices!!

Please reassure me / us.

1, 2, 3 above would go a long way.

Sincerely

Daniel Shurman
