- ThatDan 9y agoThere are examples of complaints about this on Sonic's forums[0] If you're not parallel to a line you might be out of luck. [0] https://forums.sonic.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1085&start=1310 https://forums.sonic.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1085&start=131...
- pfooti 9y agoyeah, a lot of the problems with the fiber rollout (I am not affiliated with Sonic, but I'm in their fiber zone and read a lot of their statements about fiber as they were starting up) is that you're limited by overhead wires, ground-level distribution boxes, and a number of other things that make infrastructure hard to build, somewhat understandably. Like, I happen to be lucky as the road I'm on is parallel to and one block east of a road with no fiber. I believe the initial rollout was also a function of current subscriber density, like if they could count on converting N customers per street, it was a more compelling argument.
