    Sonic Fiber Unfinished Work
    Mark B.

    Sonic is great for residential homes, but horrible if you are a owner of a large apartment building of 18 units. They roughed in the fiber lines for the 18 units a couple years ago but never came back to complete the project. And I informed them a half a dozen times within the last year, to please come back out to complete the project and their attitude was, we don't care!! (some young kid w/attitude)... Well, last Friday, April 17th, they finally sent the contract to sign and put the project on the schedule, and then they redacted the contract, so then it couldn't be executed and scheduled, so now we can't fit them within our schedule and we are now installing installation and sheet rock without them completing their work... (again, they had 2 years, +, to complete) Thank you Sonic for wasting my time, and my contractor's time.. Advise to Sonic Management: Get Your Act Together because the competition, Monkey Brians wants our business, so it's bye bye Sonic...

    Hands down the most reliable internet in the Bay Area. Only outage I have experienced was when a road contractor cut their fiber and they had it replaced in 5 hours which is no small feat. Gig out of the wall. He'll I'm getting speeds of over 800 on WiFi. I love this company. They are the liberation army of the iSP's.

    Had Sonic Fiber installed today and the experience was excellent. Victor Hernandez handled the job and went above and beyond. My install wasn't simple. I requested the fiber be routed through the attic and down to a custom modem location. Victor listened to my concerns, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done exactly how I wanted. His work ethic and attention to detail really stood out. Clean work, professional attitude, and the system is running perfectly. Very satisfied with the service. Highly recommend Sonic and especially Victor.

    Is there a phone number I can call to get a quote and have it installed?

    Is it true that during Covid, if you signup with Sonic, the installers will not enter your house and will only guide you on how to setup everything? I am technically challenged so I don't think this would work for me. Can anyone confirm?

    Yes it's true. They walk you through all the steps. But if you have trouble setting up new technology or electronics you may need to ask someone else to help. It wasn't hard, but some of the cable parts are small amd need to fit together just right.… Read more

    I would like to know how much it would cost per month to have sonic Internet access to use our smart TV and would also like to know if it's possible to have the connection hardwired by ethernet cables to our TV and laptop?

    I pay $50 per month all in. The modem has an Ethernet output and I connect that to the router

    Does anyone use an Arris Surfboard modem/router with Sonic? I want to change but have my own modem?

    No. Arris Surfboard is a cable modem. Sonic offers both fiber optic and DSL (landline phone) connections, but not cable. You could sell the Arris modem on eBay.

    FTTH in Burlingame: Unavailable on many streets due to utility poles that would fail wind / vertical loading and/or not enough space for proper anchor separation. Should we pursue replacement poles with PG&E or facilitate micro-trenching option?

    PG&E are obligated to repair / replace / reinforce the utility poles they own, while the city is not obligated to allow micro-trenching. Advocating for PG&E to do the necessary work to get their utility poles up to standard seems to be the most… Read more

    I ordered sonic internet and they said they will contact me 1-14 days to install as they need time to prepare? Its been almost 14 days but nothing so far! Did anyone have the sane experience? Should i call them or keep waiting?

    Yes, you should call them. They have great customer service / technical support. Keep in touch with them and you will learn to love them. I've been their customer for 19 years and chose them because of great support.

    Anyone in Daly City area using Sonic? Is it recommended for this area or around areas?

    Great answers. I desperately need to leave landline carrier Frontier. Can anyone tell me if I were to get phone service, can I keep my number and how large is the calling area? Will I be able to get alerts from the Emergency Broadcast System?

    You can keep your phone number. You can call nationally free. I'm fairly certain that Sonic charges for international calls. Our landline doesn't get Emergency Alerts so I doubt that Sonic would. I think that's only used for cell phones. You can… Read more

    Hey, I'm getting my service installed this week by an AT&T worker, is there anything I should know before getting it installed? Do I have to pay an extra fee afterwards?

    So Sonic Fiber isn't available in my area, but their other internet service is(the one with AT&T) it said that upload speeds were around 25 mbs, is that true ?? Is it really worth it?

    I can only tell you that I am much further down the list to get fiber, my download through at&t is about 23 mbps.. at&t has many specials and deals that you need to get every year (as prices go up) I have dealt with sonic about 5 times and I… Read more

It took a while to figure out what was going on with my bill, and in the end, they were able to figure out what was going wrong with my monthly bills, and how to get my bill back to where it was supposed to be. The manager (Christian I believe) was excellent in dealing with me, a very frustrated longtime customer that just wanted the proper offers to be honored. Big kudos to the other two employees who also did all they could during this process, and were extremely professional throughout. I hope I don't have to keep going back because the billing department's screw-ups, but if I do have any issues, I now know I can come to this store, rather than wasting precious hours of my life being hung up on by Xfinity automated telephone services, and lied to by chat bots and chat agents.

We did not have many choice in internet and so this was the company we got. The service is awful and we were left without internet often. Despite them telling us we would have enough bandwidth to run our smart TVs we did not and apps were constantly buffering. Half our house does not have internet ( it's not that big ) and they paced the router and said we would have service though the whole house. We are now moving out do the area and when I called to cancel service I was told we had 2 year contract and there would be a fee to cancel. We new we would not be here for two years and I specifically asked the sales rep for a month to month contract. All and all an awful company and experience. If you can't get another provider I would recommend calling your cell phone company and getting a hotspot. It'll be much more reliable and cost-effective.
