Ummm

So the connection was not 100% reliable yet you gave it 5 stars. I swear these sonic.net reviews get fishier and fishier every time. If i had to unplug ALL my phones just to get my dsl modem to sync i sure as hell wouldn't give the ISP 5 stars for "connection reliability" or "installation"...one or the other. Oh well sonic.net magically pulls in another perfectly, 100%, "i never ever have problems even though they over charge the sh*t out of me" customer....god even the price for that DSL sucks....Yet they get 5 stars down the boards hahaha.

No, my modem syncs fine now with the phones plugged in. The reliability has nothing to do with that and you know it. The problem happens with any self install that includes microfilters.

IF you could get the service out there in Texas, you would know. WTF, anyway? You don't have anything to do but read reviews of service you CAN"T GET?

Hiroshima is a "funny guy" in that he apparently lives to respond bash any positive sonic review. I guess everyone needs a purpose in life...

Welcome to the internet. Out of all the people online, one of them is going to have nothing better to do than troll on DSL reports about a DSL provider 1000 miles away, thta they can't even get...

Reminds me of that hit song that launched Beck's career...

Re: Ummm

Thanks for the welcome, although you can find posts from me on USENET dating back to '93, and I posted on Compu$erve back in the '89ish time frame, so I've pretty much seen it all, including dudes like this.

Can't people just let them be happy?

I really don't see why all these people care if Sonic is getting good reviews, fake or real. If they are really a shitty isp, it will come out. If you guys are worried about people being mislead and ordering the service on false pretenses, it will also come out, since they must know about dslreports in order to see the reviews and if their experience sucks, I assume they will post about it and challenge all the reviews.

As for Sonic, I would take these doubters as a compliment. Kinda like when I'm playing an online game (CS) and I kick ass and people accuse me of being a cheater. I know what's real and that I don't cheat, so being called one is a compliment. So Sonic be proud and be happy and just remember, don't ruin a good thing and don't forget how you got to this point. Stay true to your roots.

Thanks again.

A Happy Sonic Customer

Re: Can't people just let them be happy?

I like your post. You're right, and I think I will take your advice. Next time tex posts his delusional fantasies, I'll just smile and feel good that I have an ISP that is unbelievably good (at least to one troll)!

Re: Can't people just let them be happy?

russwong has said it very well indeed. Usually, you know something is good when there are some people who try to make it look bad because they couldn't get it no matter what! People are just jealous that we have a ISP that performs 6Mbps/608kbps with 8 static IPs while their dynamic IP connectio with slower guaranteed rates at more expensive prices can't hold a candle to us.

Sneaky...

Switched back to SBC Yahoo! after a year with Sonic.net. Got cheaper price and no contract for the same speed.

Sonic provisions through SBC and move to SBC Yahoo! was painless ... except, Sonic keeps charging me. They never returned calls when I leave messages, they have high call volumes and won't refund because they don't show the account as "cancelled". Sneaky little buggers...after I had talked to them a few times since the account got moved. Try to leave a message when their call volumes are high and they'll never return calls. They had removed my user-id the day account switched and say that they were charging for internet access - for what? - access the aether with no DSL? Morons...Never again. Sonic.net is a two bit player with no people to handle the call volumes.

Sonic.net totally depends on SBC for all issues...and SBC runs them around. 5 days to get a technician when SBC Yahoo! own accounts have tech onsite in a day...

Unhappy with sonic.net in the valley
