Comment on Fusion Broadband pair bonded by Matt S

I live in B Section of Rohnert Park on the Cotati CO and it would appear as though I am at the far end of the CO range. Line noise levels are high, speeds are low (640kbps) although I think we can sync at maybe 1mbps which is still, very unimpressive.

Any hope for a poor sap in B section? This part of RP seems more or less abandoned by the city and utilities (and maybe with good reason?:)

Hey Dane,

Can we get an update on POTS service? And will all Fusion customers get that more or less immediately when it becomes available, or will there be another rollout schedule? Thanks!

If I were to make a guess about the future, I’d say that it’s inevitable that we’ll be delivering on Fiber someday.

Central office deployments and our huge new backhaul ring are all steps along a path.

Sonic should install fiber optic! Read this article about a town in Minnesota.

Karl,

Lots of location are in the pipeline, and we’re providing specifics as the come online. See for example the recent posting about San Rafael. I know that Napa is also about to wrap up. Our construction teams are all over the place now, working on a wide array of areas.

It’s been over six months since this post. How about an update? When will you start building out the South Bay COs? We are HUNGRY for a better provider at high speeds.

I will personally drive around San Jose with a large, magnetic “Sonic.net” decal on my car, to help you spread brand awareness, if that’s what it takes!

Oh, no! Just 2 days ago I signed up for Direct TV but haven’t had it installed yet. Do you think I might be eligible????

Since I already had both sonic and DirecTV, and it seems this offer does not apply to current subscribers (which is a rotten policy, btw), what is the point of sending me the emails? It just makes me feel bad that I cannot save the extra money.
