I switched from ATT DSL to Sonic because I couldn't get reliable speed for streaming video like Netflix in the evenings. I guess ATT was either overloaded or throttling me. I got so sick of that "buffering" wheel! It's a bummer when you're halfway through a movie and it chokes.
Anyway, my speed with Sonic is almost 50% higher that ATT (when it was fully on), based on http://www.speedtest.net, and I haven't had to watch "buffering...please wait" in the middle of a show since. I'm in Mountain View, and my location is 6,374 wire feet from their local serving office, so I expected less than 20 Mbps. I just got 2.8 Mbps down and .85 Mbps up on speedtest. It's good enough for me.
The conversion was delayed from 8/8 to 8/15 due to the ATT strike, but the Sonic customer rep was right on it and followed through with me very courteously and professionally. Once ATT switched the wires, it worked fine the first time.
Thank you Sonic!
