I currently have ATT 50mb service via Sonic (billed as 'Fusion IP Broadband Residential X2') in SF.
I am upgrading to FX2 since it's about the same price, and twice the speed. The Sonic tech I spoke with told me that this
would involve changing my equipment and a truck roll. I was surprised to hear this, since I already have a fiber drop to my
house and the right equipment to support speeds up to 1gb (ONT/ONU, Pace gigabit router). Also, the new speed (100mb)
is well below the capacity of the router, so I can't figure why new gear would be necessary.
My question is whether the tech was right about needing new gear. As far as I know, the current equipment is adequate, and
this speed upgrade should be nothing more than a config adjustment to a traffic shaper/policer.
Thanks!
