Just got my Sonic-resold AT&T Fiber installed on Thursday, couldn't be happier. Well, that's not true, I'll be even happier when Sonic rolls their own to my neighborhood later this year and I'll be paying even less!
The inverse of Murphy's law hit me the day I had the fiber installed; my Time Machine backup on my NAS failed verification, so I have to kick off a new one.. which means 2TB of data to upload to Backblaze once it finishes. Very glad I moved off my capped Comcast connection exactly that same day. I rarely need more than 1TB, but when you need it, you need it!
Sonic support told me they'd waive the early termination fee (didn't realize there was one on resold services, but it makes sense) so it was a no-brainer to get Fiber as soon as I could (been dreaming about this for ages), rather than wait till later this year.
Seems odd that AT&T rolled fiber the week after Sonic announced they'd be bringing it here. I'm guessing some capability needs to exist at the central office just down the street from my house, before anyone can offer gigabit service?
