I don’t feel you realize how good you have it.

What you're missing is that the price is the same for fiber and DSL. If you're in a part of the Bay Area where all you can get is 3 Mbps DSL from Sonic, they'll gladly charge you that same price (and yes I did this for a while until I realized that Sonic wasn't particularly loyal to their customers).

Oh, and $40 is the promo rate these days.



Yeah I know about their AT&T piggyback DSL service. Yeah, it isn’t a good deal, but $40 for fiber internet is unbelievable. What’s sad is that I don’t live that far away from you. Thanks for your post though. It reminded me to talk to Comcast again. Now I’m paying $140 for 1 gbps


Sonic gig fiber is only $40 if you use thier fiber. Where they resell ATT fiber, it's $80/mth for the first year then jumps to $90.


That's still quite good compared to some parts of the country (like anyone who has to use Spectrum).


If you read my comment, I’m paying $140 / month. That’s only a promotion that lasts for a year. Sonic is still the better deal by at least $60 / month
