Their site is confusing - they were historically (and still are, in most places) a DSL provider using AT&T for the last hop into the house. Over the past few years they’ve built out their own fiber network which currently has a much smaller footprint. Definitely by far the best residential internet service in the Bay Area, by a mile. They sell both under similar/nearly identical branding. Matt

This is a good thing and society would be better off with more competition among infrastructure providers. It needs to be funded somehow. You can cheat, but if you are a nonprofit doesn't that kinda go against mission?according to https://www.sonic.com/residential for the offering “fusion IP Broadband” Delivered over AT&T’s IP network using Fiber-to-the-Home or Fiber-to-the-Node Technology (technology based on location) This service uses AT&T infrastructure and is installed by an AT&T technician, you are required to use an AT&T supplied modem. This will be provided during your installation. -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI 207-602-1134 www.gwi.net
