Reviews for Sonic Fiber Internet

“Sonic is one of the few ISPs I have dealt with in my life that didn’t leave me frustrated. Dealing with their support was as painless as support goes. It’s cheap for fiber and my service has been stable for quit some time, I take it for granted.”

“Being a long time Sonic customer in SF I was bummed when we moved to Oakland and there was no Sonic. But low and behold a few weeks later, I see Sonic trucks in the neighborhood. I immediately dumped Comcast and went back. Cheaper, faster, more reliable, and Sonic does not sell your data like scummy Comcast.”

“Sonic got our Berkeley startup set up with fast and affordable fiber internet. Was a tricky install but he took care of us & got the job done right! I have Sonic at home and now am happy to get it at my small business too.”

“Nothing but good things to say about this company! I heard Sonic’s Fiber was coming to my area. I signed up immediately and last month received word that my service would be installed a month early. Stop reading this now and go to Sonic’s website to see when Fiber will be available for you!”

“I would give 10 stars if I could — just a fantastic customer service experience every single time!! I now have close to a Gig up and down. Highly recommend ditching Comcast, getting Sonic and signing up for a few streaming services to get your fix.”

“I’ve been waiting for Sonic fiber internet in Oakland using Sonic lines for so long and today was the day. 1 Gigabit up and 1 Gigabit down. Plus Sonic has long been a supporter of net neutrality, so very happy to be paying them, not Comcast, which hates consumer protections.”

“Just had Sonic install Wi-Fi at my place in Berkeley this morning. Very pleased with this and so far as I can see the connection is strong and fast through all the house and yard, which is just what I wanted.”

“Sonic is simply the Gold Standard example of what every internet service provider should strive for. An ISP/business where customer service, satisfaction, and fair prices are really the priority! Thank you Sonic, you are number one!”

“I moved to Hayward and was even more satisfied to experience the easiest service transition ever, and to top it off Sonic offers fiber at my new address. Let’s just say I am having no streaming and data download issues.”

“It is a pleasure to deal with a company that seems to have some ethical values, integrity and fantastic service, as opposed to other giant internet providers. For me, there is no contest about the best internet provider in the East Bay.”

“The best internet service provider in San Francisco! Our previous service providers, AT&T and Comcast, have nowhere near the affordable rates, speed, and excellent service that Sonic Fiber does. Our technician/installer was awesome! Very professional, friendly, and courteous.”

“I’ve had great connection since I started and the customer service has been excellent. I am so happy to be rid of Comcast and I wish I had heard of Sonic earlier.”

“1 gigabit up AND down speed is amazing, faster than all competitors, and really makes everything on the internet so smooth. Especially over this last year of working from home and really need a good internet connection, I’ve had zero issues. I’ve had zero issues the entire time I’ve been a customer.”

“I called Sonic and they scheduled an installation within the week. Been using Sonic for over a month now with absolutely no issues.”

“Every part of my experience has been great so far. The installation was great. All of my devices now perform much faster and more seamlessly than they did with Comcast. The price is way cheaper.”

“Was looking for an alternative to ‘the bigger’ ISPs around the Bay Area and Sonic was recommended. Been using them for a year now and they have been great. Great customer service and good quality service.”

“My kids are both gamers, we stream music and video simultaneously, and we have yet to stress the system in any manner. Sonic’s connection has been rock solid.”

“I recently moved to a new apartment and needed internet. To my luck, Sonic was available and signing up was easy. Overall very satisfied with my internet speeds which is great because Bay Area internet is typically very poor.”

“Sonic has been fantastic, the Fiber Internet speeds are the fastest I’ve seen anywhere. I’ve been testing and I’m consistently getting 900Mbps+ download and upload. My unit wasn’t initially hooked up for Sonic Fiber, and my installer worked with the building manager and made sure the hook up was in the best place for my studio. I really appreciated the friendly and knowledgeable customer service, just as I have with the rest of the Sonic team so far.”

“Amazing! From dispatch to installation, all employees were incredibly kind, considerate, and respectful. Lopez explained the whole process, communicated each step and installed internet across my building. Really good at ensuring that internet worked and navigating the building to best provide service.”

“I highly recommend Sonic to anyone in search of reliable and high speed internet. Together with excellent customer service team, you’re always in good hands.”

“I am client of Sonic for sometime now and am very happy! Today we were moving to new location and Najib Kohistani was sooo sooo helpful and fast and very professional! Highly recommend!”

“After having multiple outages of the internet service I had, I decided to switch to Sonic. The technician named Joshua Hanna examined the house infrastructure thoroughly and explained the process. He also gave us good advices to keep the internet fast throughout the house.”

“I got Sonic over a year ago and couldn’t be happier. Recently I had some trouble with my connection and Sonic’s support and service were AMAZING. I got to speak to a person right away (9pm) and they scheduled a service call for first thing in the morning. (FYI the connection problem was my fault, I’d cracked the fiber cable — don’t forget it’s glass yo!)”

“When is the last time you heard someone with anything positive to say about their ISP, or even actively promote them, because you’re about to! I’ve lived in multiple places in the bay area for over 25 years and whenever it’s been an option I’ve used Sonic as my internet provider. Sonic has sharp, professional people at all levels, even on their first-tier phone support.”

“Mark and Antonio did an amazing job installing Sonic internet at my home. Upon arriving at my house, they quickly assessed what was needed both inside the home and externally. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and patient. Would definitely recommend Sonic and this team!”

“I first heard about Sonic from one of my teachers at Santa Rosa Junior College. I stay with Sonic not only for their awesome customer service, but also their dedication to the privacy of their members and an open Internet.”

“I don’t usually give reviews about cable installations but let me tell you, Sonic was an amazing installer. They were courteous, followed all protocols for safety and made sure we were connected and ready for our super fast internet. I am excited for my future with Sonic and am glad I switched over.”

“Switched to Sonic because we moved to Berkeley in an area that offers it and it has been AMAZING. I have never had any internet issues compared to Comcast where I was resetting my router at least once or twice a month. With Sonic I’ve NEVER had any issues and the internet is so fast that when I go over to friends homes I realize how spoiled we are.”

“We recently had fiber installed in our building, the crews that did the install were AMAZING. The service works great!!! I’m literally paying ⅓ the price for 10x the speed. Fantastic.”

“Fantastic experience, better than we’ve ever had with any provider. Sonic offers fiber to the home in our Oakland neighborhood. Service has been rock-solid, without the frequent interruptions Comcast had, and about 20% faster than advertised, including through the evening hours when Comcast always fell over. Fiber rocks.”

“We were desperate to be rid of AT&T as a service provider and made the switch to Sonic. From start to present, they have the best, most responsible customer service reps in the business. I can’t say enough great things about this company.”

“When I heard my neighbor had sonic internet, I immediately called to switch. Saving $70 on my internet bill with faster and more reliable speeds? HECK YES!”

“Is it possible? An internet provider that I actually like? Omg, Sonic kicks the others hands down. A couple years ago, I switched from Comcast cable internet (about $70 dollars a month) to AT&T fibre (about $60). But a couple of months ago I switched to Sonic fibre: way cheaper at $40/mo plus your first 2 months free. It is 10 times faster (literally) and massively more reliable.”

“I’ve been a long time fan of Sonic all the way back to when I had DSL in Oakland, CA. For a moment I had fiber in Petaluma and it was amazing, but then I had to move. I am so excited to say that my new home is now Sonic Fiber equipped. The installation as always was flawless.”

“Sonic and service tech Tony Chu are top notch. Tony was polite, friendly addressed all my questions and made sure the installation was professional, clean and looking great! So much better than the other “internet bundle” companies. Can’t recommend Sonic or Tony enough.”

“If you want great internet/Wi-Fi service? Get Sonic! I’ve had nothing but great service from Sonic but today’s service by a young technician named Rodrigo Murillo was out of the box!! He was efficient, knowledgeable, and hardworking. He had a lovely, pleasant, and non-threatening demeanor and presence about him.”

“Recently installed sonic fiber optic Internet in our home. We couldn’t be happier. From the sales department to service and follow up after service were outstanding.”

“When I contacted Sonic, they said my modem might have to be replaced. They then said they will have someone come out to fix it the next day and gave me a time frame from 8 AM – 12 PM. Najib came at 8 AM and installed a new box and gave me great advice on what to do with the new modem. He even fixed my broken equipment. Sonic is quick and reliable. Highly recommended!”

“Sonic fiber is amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience! It just isn’t fair to compare Wave/Astound to Sonic.”

“Signed up Sonic for my next move. They’ve always been great and reliable, and their customer service is top-notch. Their competitors consistently stink, but even if they didn’t, I would still recommend Sonic as they are great.”

“Switched from Comcast to Sonic. Download speeds increased by 5x. Upload speeds increased by 100x. I’m very happy with the experience and service.”

“Just got sonic internet installed in my apartment and the process couldn’t have been more smooth. The technician Mark was extremely courteous and professional and explained the work he and his partner Christian had done clearly. Very happy with the installation and excited for my new internet.”

“We’ve decided to part ways with Xfinity/Comcast and got Sonic! So far so good! Installation was easy, and helpful! The installer — Nate Chasteen was on time, communicated well, and cleaned up after himself. He had great customer service skills and answered all my questions without skipping a beat.”

“We recently had Sonic fiber installed in our condo, and we could not be happier with the speed and wireless coverage throughout our home!”

“Enjoying the sonic internet, but they are impressive in many aspects. The ability to call a number and get a human within seconds is something we don’t get with companies like Xfinity, and makes a lot of difference.”

“We have been very happy Sonic customers for several years. When the time came to establish internet service for a new property, we did not hesitate to call Sonic. Without exception, every interaction we have had in the process has been pleasant, courteous, and effective.”

“If you haven’t already, run, do not walk, to get this service. And, when we upgraded to fiber the home, the installer was super friendly and followed good Covid protocols.”

“Awesome. Amazing. Lightening fast. Phone service too! Fantastic customer service. Super skilled and friendly technician! Christian. Couldn’t be happier Sonic is all over Oakland now. Please keep your amazing customer service! Love you Sonic so much!”

“Mark, our software installer was professional and informative. He provided good insight and accommodated our request for locations to install our fiber box. We now have gigabit internet at a much better rate than what we had with Comcast.”

“Hi, we have just become Sonic subscribers and are so happy to be so. Your folks are Great, especially your Field Service Technician, TONY CHU. We’re so impressed with his efficiency, professional smart-thinking about how to accommodate our needs in setting up the hardware; and how considerate, patient, and thoughtful he’s been in acquainting us to the Sonic Family!”

“We had Sonic installed Yesterday. The technicians brought fiber into the apartment and terminated it in a wall-mounted Fiber Terminal (Moden). We connected it to our WiFi routers and all is well. It is certainly faster than the previous provider. The crew was competent, Knowledgeable, Helpful, and courteous.”

“I’m thoroughly impressed with the service. I’ve only ever used DSL so fiber is a real game changer. Back when we had xfinity I was lucky to get maybe 13 mbps but with fiber Im getting 600 mbps. This is on wifi by the way. My brother uses a desktop and he’s getting like 900 mbps. The real kicker is the package costs like half of what we were paying for xfinity. So far this company rocks.”

“After reading some reviews and learning that it’s a local company, I decided to go ahead with the free trial, but was dreading the installers arriving because of the prior experience. And then Field Service Technician Ian Bigby changed everything. He was pleasant, charming, low-key, and incredibly professional, efficient, and helpful. He did the external wiring, then walked us through install from outside, properly masked and distanced. He also explained everything, admired our incredibly cute puppy, and left me feeling like ‘wow, this company hires great folks.’”

“Had Sonic installed at my new apartment today and the experience was super seamless. Billy C. our technician showed up promptly and on time. He walked me through the work he had to do and immediately got to it. He completed the setup in about an hour!! This was huge, because I had anticipated it taking much longer, but nope, not the case at all. The process was really efficient. Many thanks to Billy! The speed is great too. I’m very glad I chose Sonic.”

“Sonic has given us great internet connection at a better price than Comcast. I still have cable thru Comcast but find that Sonic service is great. Install was super simple and the few small issues I have had (including needing to set up an extended router system using their Eeros) have been easy to solve. Love the local and excellent customer service.”

“In my 20 years in the Bay Area, I’ve had internet service from Comcast, AT&T, 3rd party DSL providers, WebPass, and now Sonic.net. We’ve had 1gbps fiber service for more than a year now, and Sonic is my favorite of the ISPs so far.”

“Big fan since we switched from Comcast about 5+ years ago (whom I swore I would never give another penny too). Been very happy all along, notably the thoughtful, friendly and well-trained Santa Rosa-based customer support folks, though I’ve not had to use them very much.”

“Dan, in Billings, is an absolute wizard when it comes to maintaining a long line of delivering 100% customer satisfaction in fully any and all concerns raised to their attention. Their diligence even continued during the process of changing providers, a point unto where the evil triad would be shamed. Altogether, this 3rd party ISP is a shining example to extrapolate freedom of web transparency and protecting user data information. Keep up the good work with individual freedoms! Also the complimentary VPN service is (totally) legit!”

“We had Sonic at our previous home in SF. Our installers this time around, in Oakland, were Daniel and Jose, and they were excellent. I’ve had other experiences where cable / internet installers didn’t care how ugly the install was. Daniel and Jose worked with me to find the cleanest way to install, even though there were faster and uglier alternatives.”

“Very happy with $20 less per month than Xfinity, 3.5x+ faster speed over Wifi (180Mbs vs.50Mbs Xfinity on 5G download) and comparable on 2.4G, Seth’s good install.”

“Sonic Fiber is the fastest and best deal out there compared to anything else we have in most of the Bay Area. If your area has Sonic fiber available, just get it! Best ISP hands down!”

“10GigE fiber for the low price of <$100 is amazing. Service always stays on, symmetrical rates (no rate limiting), no reason to call tech support (but they are there)! This is the happiest I’ve been with an ISP for a long time - I don’t have to talk to them, everything works, perfection!!”

“Hands down the best internet service in the US! 10 Gbps fiber connection for less than half price of the competitors is a steal. It’s been super reliable as well. I can’t imagine going back to any other internet provider now.”
