Just came across this article on TechCrunch.
Wouldn't that be an interesting approach for Sonic to get Gigabit Internet deployed much faster, while continuing to build out the Fiber infrastructure?
In Germany, Deutsche Telekom (DT) has started such a program which offers a hybrid solution of copper-based DSL with an overlayed LTE. DT provides a hybrid-router that connects to the phone line as well as to the cellular network using a SIM card. For the end-user it's mostly indistinguishable from regular DSL, except that it achieves much higher download/upload speeds, at the cost of an at times slower ping time.
