Thank you!!
I'm into my third free month, so I'll be billed my first actual month mid February (started service mid Nov).
Texted sonic support this was their response:
"if you don't downgrade, your charges wuold be $49.99/mo with about $12/mo in taxes. Take away $10/mo for phone service and the $12ish per month in taxes and you're left with $39.99/mo for data only"
So looking like no taxes on data only plan?! which would be awesome, truly $39.99 service from sonic!

Not entirely sure about taxes yet, but still being able to choose just data plan is a start!

Can you guys clarify:
Will the ability to drop the phone service be available to ALL fiber users (1 & 10 gig) or only to those who have 10 gig available in their area?
Thank!

Standard fiber is only available on the new 10 Gigabit platform. It is a limited market test at this point, to determine if we can sustain the economics of the product and the company without voice service revenue or not.

It is internet access ($39.99) without the phone bundle. Fusion Fiber ($49.99) is the bundle that includes the unlimited home phone. Standard Fiber is only available in a limited area today, where we have our newest equipment deployed, using XGS-PON technology.

Well, then I'm eager for the 10Gb service to cover all of San Francisco :)

Wouldn't the economics be the same to the company if you offer Internet-only option for $49.99 (in addition to the $39.99 + $10 voice bundle)?? That way, you get the same revenue for arguably less service costs (no voice service provided) and the customer saves ~$12/month on fees for a service that is unused.

If it turns out you can't, please just increase the cost of standard fiber, not revert to requiring a phone line. I'm happy to pay a reasonable price for viable internet service but the regulatory fee nonsense is psychologically irritating.
