Static IP pricing is a bit higher than dynamic throughout the industry. I’ll certainly concede that the price point is not fully supportable by the costs of the address space itself, it’s to some degree a case of what the competitive market will bear (and to some degree, static users helping drive down cost for dynamic ones.) There is some extra config setup and maintenance for static IP customers, and also some assumptions that they’ll use a little more bandwidth.

For this reason, one costs the same as eight; it’s the capability, not the actual consumption of IPs that’s the trigger.

It seems the price difference for static IPs is a bit steep. Is there no way
to lower that and only offer 1 static IP (after all, that is all I really need with NAS)?

Jim,

ADSL2+ can provide a faster connection at the longer distances as well, but we’re not yet using it in that way. Over time, we’ll begin to experiment, but right now honestly the focus is on the locations that are within 8,000ft.

When are we going to get decent speeds out in the Mayette Village area of Santa Rosa (about 2.3 miles from the central office)? I currently can’t get over 348k own on my 1.5Mb service line!

Have you seen this one Dane http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20080929/BUSINESS/809290276

Looks like a few of your customers are pimping out your new service to the folks on the PD’s forums…

Hank,

If you are a Sonic.net customer, you can always upgrade! No need to wait.

Yeek. Boy did I time this wrong.
We just changed up to Pro-S a couple weeks ago.

I guess we’re committed to ATnT for a whole year before we can change to Fusion?

Well, we’ll bang on ATnT to try to figure out why we are getting some line congestion now and try to be sure we _can_ use Fusion a (sob!) year from now.

Dane,

I am very excited about the new products. I just jumped into a new promo deal on my Residential Pro DSL so the bump to Fusion 6/1 would be nice. If I do this I am also looking at becoming a Sonic Hotspot. I am located near Railroad Square close to Franco American Bakery in a 2 story house. Do you guys a place to but a big antenna?

When do you think Fusion will be online in my neighborhood?

Thanks,

Andre’ Siedentopf
