Call now at 707-522-1000 and ask for her.

If it's 9000ft from a DSL equipped CO, you might be in good shape. However, without a phone number in service there, the data is not assured. AND, until DSL is actually up and running, nothing is really assured, FYI!

Broadlink will drive by and check for service if you order it and contract for it - I don't think they'll do a site survey without an order.

Sonic CS said the address (arnica wy) was 9000 ft from CO.( forgot to ask which one) and it looked good for all but the top tier dsl service...
It was explained to me that W/o a working phone number it was a rough estimate, So I'm trying to talk to neighbors and see if I might use their number for a line quality check...
I know that comcast is there, but almost rather go back to bonding multiple Sonic dial-up lines!

Would paying for an ATT van roll to the house gain me any more knowledge in regards to speed/ availability? Or am I destined to go back to smoke signals and tin cans?

How much is a site survey for Sonic's (broadlink) wireless offerings?

Thanks,

Broadlink still serves some wireless customers there though, so they might be worth looking at if you MUST move there.

What does a lack of broadband do to property values? ;)

What direction would Sonic's wireless internet be from wikiup?
Is the closet antenna on the roof of the airport cinema's still?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20243155 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:19:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20242781 Snypes : If you do not have an active phone line we can look up the location via the address. We can estimate a basic idea of speed but honestly there is no real way to know how well a line will act until it is provisioned. Any technician in our office can run the prequalification for you. You can also submit the request to support@sonic.net and you should receive an answer within a business day. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20242781 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:13:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20242776 bobrk : Start here:

And see if they serve your area.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20242776 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:12:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20242462 xan_user : I've been thinking of moving to wikiup,lark field area from Windsor. It looks like wikiup is in the worst possible location for dsl, equally far from SR co and windsor co.
I need a static IP with fairly high up speeds for work, but i'm concerned that it won't be available from Sonic there. What's the best way to determine the availability of Sonic in a given location? A street address, or the old phone number? Or Ouija board? Will Sonic CS be able to semi accurately estimate speeds?

Also if anyone here has any "gasp " alternative for Sonic in that area I will entertain that as a last resort...

Many thanks,
