Follow up unpaid endorsement, Sonic is incredible. Half the price of the competition with more features. Last time the power went out I got a text message from Sonic before I got one from the power company. Sonic texted saying my connection

Their website is SO SO bad. It is almost like they don't want you to easily be able to see your bill and investigate the rates. The only part of the website that is easy is making payments.
