| Speed I switched to Sonic at the end of last year because I couldn't get satisfaction from AT&T customer support. Because I am out of Sonic's area they still have to use AT&T infrastructure to provide their service but I have a much more stable connection.
My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 and today I downloaded the latest and greatest Chromium browser (Version 23.0.1262.0). I have been using Chromium since last November and today's version marks a measurable difference in speed and performance. I just thought I would alert people to this positive development and see if there are others that experience the same thing. |

I am pretty sure nobody outside of Sonic.net's "area" can get Sonic.net service.
Sonic.net does offer their own product ("Fusion") where they have their own ADSL2+ equipment in an AT&T CO.
Where "Fusion" isn't available within the AT&T footprint, Sonic.net resells AT&T ADSL service.
Even where "Fusion" is available, Sonic.net still uses AT&T copper from the CO to the premises.
Only in the limited area of FTTH deployment does Sonic.net have there own infrastructure.

I am not certain I can explain improved performance on a resold AT&T line, where Sonic.net resells AT&T tiered ADSL profiles.

Have you just not updated your profile to show a new location?
Sonic.net is only available in the Northern California Bay area, and not in the Los Angeles area, such as Altadena (at least as far as I know  ) |

| Profile is current. Sonic is my ISP. I have to provide dial tone from AT&T. |

"Fusion" is, I believe, only available in the S.F. Bay Area. Resold AT&T DSL should be available anywhere in the AT&T footprint in California.

Hate to jinx myself but has any other Sonic customer experienced improved reliability with respect to stability of their connection? I used to have minor disconnects (lose sync) during the day lasting 1 to 2 minutes and one major disconnect. Over the last couple of weeks I have had no disconnects and that's with some major area power issues.
If I should have started a new post let me know |
