Fusion Speeds and Fiber

[dane]

Our next step is splicing, and it's a big task. Likely take some months to get it booked and done.

Meanwhile, phase 3 is in engineering now.

Oh phooey... I have Sonic Fusion DSL, but I'm at 16th ave and Judah.

Any chance it "might" cross 19th ave??

In San Francisco - the pilot region is all to the West of 19th. After the pilot is complete, it all depends upon uptake, cost, city permitting, etc.

Alas! So close to Taraval, yet so far

I am literally one block away from the sunset inclusion.

Aw man, I live in the Sunset but that picture doesn't include my area.. Can you move it up to 43rd Ave and Ortega? HEHE

Hi Dane,

I operate a digital imaging studio in the Sunset (on Lawton Street, between 25th & 26th Ave) and just read an article that Sonic.net will be rolling out a fiber pilot program in our neighborhood. We have extremely high data transfer needs (uploading GBs to clients) and Comcast Business internet has been incredibly unstable. How do we get signed up?!

Thanks,

Howard

while i am welcoming sonic efforts to bring fiber to their customers, looking on Sunset map made me crying, i am one block short of proposed zone 1 area
but still hoping for the best!

plus pushing ahead with a pilot in a portion of the Sunset District in San Francisco. What happens next will depend upon all of these factors.

Any hints on which portion of the sunset district. A colleague who lives out there was recently complaining about his AT&T access. I tried to persuade him to move to sonic but I think he was sold on the increased speed of Comcast. If fiber is in his future I think I could try again!

Here are the details on the proposed Sunset pilot (attached), showing the first coverage area. Note that this is subject to change.

I am so close but so far a away. I live right a across form the the proposed Sunset pilot, on 19th ave and Lawton. Across the street, right in front of the proposed street Surface box. I suspect all of the house that are on 19th ave are gone to have to wait along awhile to get serves as all of the utility are underground (no phone polls). Dane, Is there a plane to get access to utility that are underground in the future?

We are initially building aerial only for cost reasons. As we grow, we are likely to begin to experiment in underground.
