The upgrade does take some time to start. Once we start in your area we will let you know!It's nearly September 2024, and still no update. Still being charged $23.78 out of $75.41 for Voice services I never use and would opt-out of with any other service provider. A data-only option cannot come soon enough...Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all of your feedback and comments related to voice service. While at this time we are not able to remove the phone service from our Fiber 1gig services. We do allow customers on 10gig to do so. You can visit https://members.sonic.net/connections/s ... e/#/change to start the request to upgrade to 10 gig fiber.
The charge for the upgrade is $300, which is added to your bill over 3 months. Most customers pay $10 for the phone service and around $18 in taxes, so the upgrade cost will even out within the first year. (Please note that you will need to downgrade your service to no voice once your service is upgraded to 10gigs)
We are still looking for a solution for our customers on 1gig. Hopefully, we will have news for you guys soon.
Best Wishes!
Also to answer this question
"Can you explain what is the equipment upgrade that is necessary? Is it a different ONT?
I currently do not rent a residential gateway (I use my own router). Does 10gig require that I rent a gateway/router?"
The self-installation kit that gets sent to you is the ONT, and depending on your order, you might get sent out eeros as well. The only router you need is the one you are currently using or if you want the max speed then i suggest renting the eero Max 7s. The ONT is upgraded along with points at the LCP and CO.
I hope this answers some questions. If you have more people feel free to post them here.
Best Wishes!
