| Nice Job This is the fastest copper-based internet service in the US except for Qwest VDSL2, the fastest-download copper-based service except for Qwest's two highest VDSL2 tiers. Which arn't available in most places.
Sure, it's not fiber, but 30/2 also handily beats every DOCSIS 1.1 cable company (Time Warner Cable for example).
What I'm really curious about is how much the lower-upload bonded tiers cost. I'm guessing $10 extra but that pricing is hidden behind a qualification wall that I know I'll never pass.
So far here's the pricing I know:
Express 1.5/1 - $35
Pro 3/1 - $40
Pro Bonded 3/2 - ???
Elite 6/1 - $45
Elite Bonded 6/2 - ???
Max 12/1 - $50
Max Bonded 12/2 - ???
Extreme 18/1 - $55
Extreme Bonded 18/2 - ???
Ultra Bonded 30/2 - $70
Since the price differential is so small, 'd probably get Ultra Bonded if I was in Sonic's service area, but for "normal" people Pro Bonded blows away the upload speeds of price-comparable alternatives.
Max Bonded isn't too bad either considering the pricing is about in line with Comcast internet-only service at the same tier level. Same thing on Extreme Bonded vs. Blast, though you aren't getting PowerBoost. |
