Hello Walnut Creek Neighbors:

I just moved to Walnut Creek from Danville on 9-7-2024. (Unfortunately, Danville is a COMPLETE Fiber DEAD ZONE, even for AT&T. The city of Danville is REFUSING Permits for trenching to AT&T. So, Sonic wouldn't have much luck there either.)

On a whim, in my second week of being at my new apartment in WC, I decided to check Sonic Availability. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to see that my new WC Address IS AVAILABLE. I decided to call Sonic to confirm, and was told that 'YES', your new WC Address is in 'Pre-Order' status, and will go live in December 2024.

I have Pre-Ordered and am eager to CUT Comcast-XFINITY, ASAP!

ANYONE on Creekside Drive in Walnut Creek SHOULD go ahead and check Sonic Availability. I'm signed up for 10Gb Symmetrical.

Good Luck, EVERYONE! :-)

I wanted to add, I'm going to lease a Router from Sonic. (Any Updates/Equipment Upgrades would then be covered under the Modem/Gateway Rental Fee.)

Quoted Monthly Premium at $49.99, and includes e-Fax and VPN.

In approx. 1-Year, I plan to switch my Vonage Land Line over to Sonic, then Monthly Premium goes to $59.99, and includes a VoIP Fax Line, (Upgraded from the e-Fax), and that will reduce my VoiP Land Line expenses and save me over $100.00 a year on phone service.

At $59.99 a month, I estimate approx: $720/Year Total to Sonic and based on what Voange charges on their Annual Prepay Plan, (60 Countries), Sonic's VoIP Land Line would be $360 of the Total Cost, and Internet at 10Gb Symmetrical would break down to $360 of the Total Charges. NO OTHER SERVICE I know of out there can match this!

UPDATE:

Okay, I had a bout of insomnia, tonight/this morning.... Hence, I'm UP at this ungodly hour of almost 3AM....

I decided to do an Update Check on 'Availability' of Internet and Installation progress in my area. I have found that my area in Creekside Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 IS READY for Installation, NOW!!! :D :D :D

Just about a week ago; however, it looked like they were pushing back from my promise of 'some time in December' all the way into January of 2025! NOW; at Warp 10+, they've changed to NOW!!!!!?????!!!!! INCREDIBLE! I'm actually going to have 10Gb Symmetrical Internet BEFORE the promised 'December 2024' Date!

I will be calling the 1-855-394-0100 Number from the 'Check Availability' Site to set up my new Install Date with Sonic Fiber! (Though, that Site Page states I should already have received an e-Mail from Sonic to set an Install Date; I have NOT yet received such an e-Mail....)

After I get my Install Appointment set and locked in, I'll provide another Update. God Bless, and Good Luck to everyone in the 94596 Zip Code of Walnut Creek; I hope others in 94596 find that they, too, are available for immediate Installation of Sonic 10Gb Fiber!!!!! :D :D :D


Sincerely,

UPDATE:

OK, some time today, the MDU Team is meeting with the Apartment Management Team here at Four Seasons Apartments of Walnut Creek, (On Creekside Drive. 94596 Zip Code Area.)

Once the meeting concludes, the MDU Team will draw up the Installation Proposal. Then, it 'could' take two, (2), weeks for Four Seasons to approve said Proposal. After that, Sonic.com WILL send me an e-Mail to set up an Installation Appointment.

At present, my Sonic.com Account holds an order for an 'eero 6' WiFi MESH Network Node. I've requested that this be changed over to 'Upgrade' to the 'eero MAX 7' WiFi-7 Protocol Capable 'Tri-Band' MESH Network Node. Nathan in Tech Support said that since I DON'T, yet, have an 'active' Install Date, the Account CANNOT be modified at this time. HOWEVER; on the day of Installation, the Installer CAN make 'modifications' to the Order as necessary to complete the Install, AND I CAN Upgrade to the MAX 7 MESH Node on that day, at that time. :D :D :D

EDIT: NOTE: The eero 6 MESH Node is $5 Per Month ADDITIONAL Fee, AND the eero MAX 7 MESH Node is $20 Per Month ADDITIONAL Fee. (These Fees are PER Node.) I will be going with the eero MAX 7. (Wired throughput at 9.4Gb of the 10Gb provided by Sonic.com Fiber. 4.3Gb Wireless throughput over the MAX 7's 6GHz WiFi.)

eero MAX 7:

Support Information: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/artic ... eero-Max-7

General Setup Information: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/artic ... e-my-eeros


So, I'm getting closer!!! :D :D :D

UPDATE:

After speaking with Alex, (Alexandra-???), MDU Coordinator this morning - it looks like she was able to break through the resistance at Four Seasons Apartments of Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek, CA 94596....

Tomorrow, 12-24-2024, a 'Test'-Install via the conduits of the Apartment Complex will be attempted by the MDU/Installation Team(s) to see if the Complex's conduits are conducive to the Sonic.com Installation Processes. IF all goes well, we're now looking towards Mid-January 2025 to Late-January 2025 for my possible Installation Date in my apartment unit.

HOWEVER; as Comcast-Xfinity bills at the end of each month for a 1st of each month's ACH Debit, I'm going to be looking towards 2-7-2025 for my new potential Install Date at my apartment unit. :D :D :D EDIT: (AND, then CANCELLING 'The Evil Empire' Comcast-Xfinity!!!)

I will keep posting and updating as progress is being made. :)

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to ALL!!!!!

Thread EDIT - Take 2: The Thread Title Edit DIDN'T take....

Trying again....

Hmmmmm..... @Dane, or @brandonc: I CAN'T seem to get the Thread Title changed.

I wanted the 'Modified/Edited' Title to be: "RE: Creekside Drive, Walnut Creek, CA - Sonic NOW Installing at Apartment Complexes in the area!"

Two Sonic vans were in the area of Four Seasons Apartments of Walnut Creek, AND two more Sonic vans were down, (West), on Creekside Drive, in the area of Bridge Apartments.

Per my 12-23-2024 Post, after calling and getting updates from Alex, she stated that on 12-24-2024, (when I saw the four, (4), vans in the area), that Teams would be 'Test' Installing Fiber from the Pole(s), through the conduits of Four Seasons Apartments. (The complex I'm in.)

So, as Installation is progressing and moving forward, I wanted to change the Thread Title. (Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.) :D :D :D
