Requested Sonic 10 Gigabit Service

[colin_s_johnson]

But you need to add $30 for Unlimited Data and they are incredibly incompetent these days.
They couldn't figure out the problem they caused, sent a "technician" (I use the term liberally because my wife is more technical) and after he'd replaced all the perfectly good coax, announced "everything should be good now" and left.
It wasn't good at all and kept disconnecting every morning between 5:30am and 7:30am and for this privellage, they tried to charge me $100.
I'd rather drive Tesla than get Xfinity.

I'm in for 10G just for the cost as I don't expect to see much of a bump up from 1 G service (even with a 10G capable router, 10G network, and a 10G wired computer as not too many internet sites/services will transfer at at close to 900M.
I would to pay sonic $5 a month more to not have a phone line and avoid the phone tax and save $10-$15/mo (considering the bill notes "data 49.99 voice 9.99")!

Requested 10g about two years ago and haven't heard a thing. The appetite for this must be very low and I understand it must cost Sonic a sweet dime to upgrade so it doesn't make sense for them.

All you can do is try to convince your Sonic neighbors to request the upgrade. 94114 here btw

I have been waiting for 4 years to get Sonic Fiber to 94114. I just filed a complaint with FCC

ya without the 10gb service i don't think it is worth it. I might have to go back to xifinity since they have 2gb for $80 right now my sonic bill is $70. Sonic telephone tax made it not worth it.

Cable internet latency (+ ping) and input lag will never touch fiber. And you are sharing the node with everything else in your neighborhood. Cable is not a true dedicated line.

Hi, I honestly not sure who even has Sonic around me. I'd join a petition/ group letter/ etc. to request this.

Is there a tool or some kind of timeline on the upgrades for 10G for existing customers? My interest is 94116 but if there's a global update status page that would be awesome. Thank you!

Ya i think its a good idea if there's a timeline on the upgrade or just tell us the truth that we ain't going to have it in our area.

Cable is a joke compared to fiber. It's not just latency, it's the upload. Cable isn't anywhere close.

With that said, all consumer services use shared infrastructure. You're just sharing a connection with much higher bandwidth (both up and down) on fiber. Dedicated lines are $$$$$$$.
