I'm in an area, in So Cal, where sonic website says I can get service and I recently had ATT install their "Fake Fiber", where they run fiber to the neighborhood then use their crap POTS line to deliver internet. I get around 60/25. Having once lived in a Verizon/Frontier area, trust me, it's Fake Fiber. Anyway, my questions are
1. Can I receive a static IP with this service if I switch to Sonic?
2. If I switch to Sonic, will my data travel over Sonic and use Sonic equipment. Example, lets say AT&T has a router go down in the central office, or AT&T's backhaul connection goes down from my area of So Cal out to the rest of the world, will my service still be working if I'm using Sonic gear and Sonic's pathway to the major interconnect points?
3. Will the Sonic modem be able to assign my router the WAN IP address in a "bridge mode" similar to how Cable Modems work, or will I be getting a 192.168.x LAN IP on the Sonic gateway as my own router's WAN IP?
Many Thanks.
