I&#x27;ve had Sonic service for about 15 years. I recently upgraded to 50Mb&#x2F;s down, 6 Mb&#x2F;s up. It&#x27;s provided through AT&amp;T, but there are no monthly caps and no middle boxes. They just forward the IP packets. Sonic is also in favor of net neutrality.<p>How&#x27;s the fiber service in SF coming? Anyone on that?

Sonic is still alive, except that now (a) they have fiber coverage in San Francisco <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14424753" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14424753</a> and (b) it&#x27;s cheaper ($50&#x2F;mo)

As a Sonic fiber customer in the Richmond, my only complaint is that phone service is not optional. It adds ~10 line items to my bill for regulatory fees at every level of the government from the city, county, state, and federal. I could happily do entirely without the phone service. I don&#x27;t even have a home phone, who does?

Here&#x27;s HN discussion of a 5 month old map of sonic fiber in SF. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thatdan.github.io&#x2F;sonic_fiber&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thatdan.github.io&#x2F;sonic_fiber&#x2F;</a>
