Too bad I’m moving out of the Cotati serviced area and now moving into Petaluma and the website says it is out of range.

For anyone desiring service, simply order at http://sonic.net/sales/fusion/broadband/ and when there is availability, you’ll get notice.

That is fabulous news!! Is there a way I can be notified when it’s available?

Thanks!

Cotati is under construction now. I understand it’s about four months from going live.

Hi,

Several months ago, I chatted with someone at sonic regarding this service. I was told it would be available in Cotati. I’m hoping that’s still true. And if so, any idea when?

I considered switching to AT&T, in order to get a “dry loop” account, as they referred to it. But, I just couldn’t bear to leave the fabulous customer support of sonic!

Thanks a bunch,
julie

POTS (plain old telephone service) landline voice on Fusion is still being worked on. We’re getting closer, but realistically it is likely to be a couple more months.

Hi Dane,

Is there any update on land line voice being available “early next (this) year”? I just dropped AT&T for Vonage over my Fusion line, and it’s great, but I’d like to hear about Sonic’s offering before I’m locked in for 2 years.

thanks!

Congrats on the buildout, and thanks for the new Fusion line to apartment! I am looking forward to canceling my landline next month and spending that “hidden” $15 on faster service with you

Sun,

Today, ADSL2+ on a single copper pair delivers 1Mbps – but two things can change that. The first is Annex M, an extension that shifts the split between down & upstream, allowing for up to 3.5Mbps upload speed. The second is pair bonding. The standard allows for many pairs to be bonded – in practice today, two copper pairs are generally used. This doubles both downstream and upstream speeds.

In the new future, Sonic.net will begin offering services based upon these technologies. They are in test here today.
