I know this might be a little out there but..
Will sonic ever consider using fibre to the home? Copper has its limitations? The last time I checked 40G was becoming cheaper to install and is good for metro applications i.e. short enough for dispersion not to be a factor.
Downtown Santa Rosa could be close enough for population along with San Francisco.
AT&T use a hybrid called Uverse; optical to the VRAD and then copper. |

| Good to hear this. Sonic+fibre optic delivery= perfect solution. I'd be more than happy to subscribe to this not that I don't like Fusion. I have a solid 8Mbits/sec download and 0.76Mbits/sec upload with US based customer support who know what they are talking about. |

clubs: | You'll also see Fusion at up to 30Mbps downstream shortly, with products headed toward 5Mbps upstream. FYI, lots of exciting stuff in the works.

Santa Rosa, CA | Dane,
This is great news. Can I ask on details? Dual/triple bonded, VDSL? Prices? |

clubs: | You'll first see dual bonded ADSL2+. VDSL2 probably isn't the right platform for us because it's only better at very short distances.
Pricing is TBD at this time, we'll be working it up soon!
