I live right near Sacramento St and 67th St. 94702. Any update on our ETA? Are we being delayed along with west berkeley or will we be seeing activation sooner?
Thanks, igorru! How can I tell what the the work is for (in case you know)? I just want to arm myself with as many useful facts as possible, before I start pushing my representatives on this.igorru wrote:I believe the permit number in question is U2018-00246. It was submitted in December and was due in January.

Despite what our city-council representative’s office told you, I’m willing to bet that it’s stuck in Berkeley permit-approval limbo. As I understand, PG&E is required to share access to the poles as long as they aren’t overloaded. The poles may belong to PG&E, but they’re on city property, so the city has some jurisdiction over them. Anyway, Dane, and Sonic in general, have been frank about PG&E access issues when they’ve occurred elsewhere, and I haven’t seen any mention of such here.SonicCustomerOnMcGee wrote:Can someone (@dane?) tell me what the blocker is for delivering fiber to my location (2200 block of McGee Ave, Berkeley, 94703, near Allston Way)?
From Sonic's March update, it sounds like it's a permitting issue with the City of Berkeley. However, the office of my representative on the Berkeley city council claims that the blocker is getting permission from PG&E to share their utility poles--and that resolving this is out of Berkeley's hands.
If the City of Berkeley is the hold-up, I'd like to know so that I can pester^H^H^H^H^H^H reach out to my city representatives and apply friendly pressure to move things along. :) I will also try to get other neighbors involved, if it's a city issue.
Thanks in advance!
Any update on this Dane? My Comcast bill is due 3/22...dane wrote:We've been sending out monthly updates the last few months, have you not received those from us?

Your FDA was to go live on 3/4/2019, and we're a couple days beyond that, so there's some sort of completion issue that must be holding us up. Sorry I don't have any specifics right now, the people I'd inquire with are not in today.
