XFINITY Fiber
November 10, 2025 I love comcasts pricing. I got their cheapest option, expecting to have to upgrade. I was surprised to find the lowest tier is fast enough for my needs, I find it equivalent to sonic or att. i had both before, at this same location. the other companies cost nearly 5 times as much per month and were no better. xfinity also offers hotspots available all over the city. this adds a great deal of value to me
A San Francisco, CA Customer
Sonic Fiber
August 04, 2024 Sonic has great pricing, customer service, and reliable internet connection. These are the 3 things I prioritize most in my internet provider, and I've been very happy to find a provider with all 3 satisfied. Their well trained phone operators are the starting point of the experience, and it seems that they invest in their technicians as well. By focusing on their employee experience, it seems they look out for their customers in my opinion.

Sonic Fiber
May 23, 2023 I use Sonic Fiber for my internet service provider. While the price does seem a tad high (~$75 month), the service is impeccable. Installation, which took around 4 hours, was professional at at no cost to me. Speeds are incredibly fast. I've had the service for more than 4 years, and have never once had problems with outages or speed issues.
