I wanted to stay with Sonic.net as much as I can in support of a local ISP despite increasingly less attractive AT&T line-shared Sonic DSL. Connection was rock solid at 5Mbps, but for $60 including the cost of the required AT&T phone service which I don’t need/use, it wasn’t one of the better values.
I have been waiting for Fusion in my area (Pleasanton) thinking Sonic, as a local ISP, would eventually deploy Fusion service in this part of the Bay Area before it expanded to out of the area. When I heard Sonic started building Fusion 400 miles away in southern California, I felt betrayed for a few seconds. Well, after all Sonic is just another ISP that must follow economic principal. I followed the same economic principal, and switch to the cable, this time their business class that doesn’t have a cap.
Even though Sonic has lost my support as a local ISP, I hope Sonic does well and eventually deploy fiber I can switch back to in my area.
