Sonic builds their own fiber; they are insurgents. This is a good thing and society would be better off with more competition among infrastructure providers. It needs to be funded somehow.
You can cheat, but if you are a nonprofit doesn't that kinda go against mission?
according to https://www.sonic.com/residential for the offering “fusion IP Broadband” Delivered over AT&T’s IP network using Fiber-to-the-Home or Fiber-to-the-Node Technology (technology based on location) This service uses AT&T infrastructure and is installed by an AT&T technician, you are required to use an AT&T supplied modem. This will be provided during your installation.

Their site is confusing - they were historically (and still are, in most places) a DSL provider using AT&T for the last hop into the house. Over the past few years they’ve built out their own fiber network which currently has a much smaller footprint. Definitely by far the best residential internet service in the Bay Area, by a mile. They sell both under similar/nearly identical branding. Matt

Sonic both has their own FTTH and layers on top of ATT FTTH with Fusion IPBB I think it’s called. I don’t know the resale agreement details in place but it’s openly advertised as such on Sonic’s site. Waiting for the true deal to land in my neighborhood ... -George Sent from my iPhone
