Sonic has resold AT&T DSL and, more recently, FTTN services for many years. I think they also recently began reselling AT&T's fiber service in places where Sonic can't build out their own network for technical or economic reasons. See https://forums.sonic.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6798 https://forums.sonic.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6798 (User dane is the Sonic CEO and he's very active in the forums.) It's not Sonic Fiber if it's not $49.99 for 1Gbps. Their resold AT&T service has pricing closer to AT&Ts. If that 1/3 figure includes resold AT&T service, that would definitely be less impressive. I'm not too optimistic about any city-planned communications infrastructure. The "progressives" hold onto a pipe dream of a free, city-wide public network[1], and they seem to balk at partnering with private companies for this purpose. Fortunately the "progressives" usually fall [just] short of majority control of the city council, and haven't won the mayorship in over 20 years, but they still manage to throw monkey wrenches into sensible plans. [1] There was (still is?) a master plan to bury fiber with the city's water & sewer network, but I think the city is half done with a city-wide, multi-billion dollar water & sewer refurbishment and replacement project without having buried any fiber at all. I'm sure most people in the city, including myself, would love to see a public fiber built-out, but it's just not financially viable. The city has too much on its plate, and the situation won't ever change. The self-styled "progressive" faction is all talk, and stonewall everything else with feigned outrage, much like national Republicans.
