My Sonic service has been flawless. When my old modem died, the new one I’d bought established the initial connection with Sonic nearly instantaneously.
A Sonic employee recently knocked on my door here in North Berkeley, informing me that fiber service will be coming to my neighborhood this April. This is a month earlier than another employee had informed me at a recent local street fair. Faster speeds, and coming soon. All good news.
I have some suggestions for inclusion in whatever ‘announcement’ email or letter you might send out on this.
Here are a few questions of the sort I’d hope to see answered in an FAQ to be included (or linked) in that email:
“How much will new customers be charged for the service?”
“Will the monthly charge for existing customers go up?”
“Is the new modem a combination modem and router?”
“Must one’s existing modem and router be replaced with the new modem/router in order to take advantage of the faster fiber speed?”
“Must customers rent (an additional monthly charge?) the modem/router from Sonic? Or can one buy one’s own, from Sonic or from a third party.” (Cheaper for customers in the log run.)
I offer the above suggestions in the interest of 1) cutting down on phone calls and email to Sonic, and 2) eliminating any confusion as to the details of the offer of the new service.
