When will Sonic Gigabit Fiber in Richmond CA 94805 area be available? The neighboring town of El Cerrito already has Sonic fiber and the website is already accepting pre orders from our neighborhood. Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out regarding Fiber availability in your area of Richmond. Since your area is available for pre-orders it means we are working on getting our Fiber infrastructure in place so that we can light your area up with Fiber as quickly as possible. If you have already placed your pre-order that's great! If not, you can PM your address and I can reach out to our Fiber Engineering team and try and get some more information on when your area will be going live.

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your reply. I have PM'd my address to you. Can you please check with your Fiber Engineering team and let me know as to how far out is the 94805 area in terms of getting Sonic Fiber internet service (roughly, Is it a month, 3 months, 6 months, a year) ?.
Thanks & appreciate your help.

I’m also in 94805 (near The Factory), and have Sonic gigabit over AT&T right now. If I can buy someone a case of beer or something to hook me up to the 10G network that I think is just about a block away (I see the vans in the neighborhood), you know where to reach me ;). I have a 10G LAN that I’m dying to connect to a SFP+ ONT and not the AT&T gateway.

We are working daily on expanding our 10G Fiber infrastructure and hopefully we can get you up and running on Sonic owned infrastructure in the near future.

Just chiming in as a fellow 94805'er (I'm near the top of the hill in East Richmond Heights), really looking forward to the 10G rollout in our neighborhood!

I also pre-ordered, hopefully that helps move things along ever so slightly ;)

Any updates on the Sonic gigabit fiber rollout to Richmond CA 94805? Are we still looking at mid 2023? I can start talking to some of our neighbors about getting Sonic internet if it will help speed up the deployment. Thanks & look forward to an update.

I just pre-ordered Sonic and I see we're in the pre-construction phase as of February 21, 2023. What's the timeline for the light up? We're a stones throw from El Cerrito.

Hi Jocob,
Same as "mistertrevor". I also see my status as "pre-construction". I'm also a stones throw from El Cerrito. Can you please let us know a the rough timeline that Sonic fiber internet service will be available to us? Thanks.

The fiber has been hung on my block, and whatever the grey boxes are that hang out on some of the poles, those have been worked on, but I’ve not seen any activity here in 94805 in many weeks, and no updates on the pre order status. I’d really hoped that there would be more news, even if to just acknowledge that we aren’t in a planning or pre construction phase.
