It has absolutely nothing to do with the sales team explaining or not explaining taxes - although that is quite obviously not happening, the gigantic ad on the Sonic homepage states "$40/month" and then the "plus taxes and fees" in the small text that nobody reads. Something something marketing, but it's dishonest as heck.
Again, at the end of the day you're charging customers significantly more for FTTN than competitors.
$65 all in for 25Mbps/2Mbps is, frankly, awful. Comcast offers 100Mbps for $55. I can provide my own modem, my own access point, and have full control over my home network without being forced to use the absolutely horrible Pace modem Sonic requires.
So, again, because you are not actually replying to anybody. Let's recap what's available if you do NOT have access to Gig Fiber:
FTTN X1 - ~$65 depending on exact taxes - $50 service, $6.50 modem rental, $6.50 ATA rental, various phone taxes, 25Mbps down
FTTN X2 - ~$90 depending on exact taxes - $70 service, $9.50 modem rental, $6.50 ATA rental, various phone taxes, 50Mbps down
I don't like Comcast nor do I want to use their service. However, 100Mbps for $55 on a non-promo deal, or $35 on promo simply beats the pants off of Sonic's offering. Twice the speed for less than half of the cost.
What's the upside to staying with Sonic?
