Called the fiber network-the-House will be the first such systems all over the city in San Francisco and will dramatically exceeding the speed of housing which is currently offered by AT
"I will certainly admit that it is an ambitious project," said Dane Jasper, CEO and founder of Sonic, who has only 60,000 subscribers. Customers spread across 13 States, but mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area, he said.
The company's main business services offer DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) over leased lines of copper, but earlier this year it began deploying fiber network in Sebastopol, California, similar to the one planned for San Francisco. There, in a trial network reaches 700 houses, offering a 100 M bps unlimited broadband for US $ 39.95 per month and 1 G bps for $ 69.95 per month. Both plans include voice services for one or two lines with unlimited domestic calls. Sonic has also been selected by Google to build fibre networks to neighborhood near Stanford University.
Sonic plans to offer the same plan in San Francisco. Has no plans to serve big business with a network, or to offer TV, said Jasper.
Sonic is announced on Wednesday it had applied for permission to build a network of San Francisco, which will start with 2,000 houses in the area of pilot districts largely residential Sunset and extended for five years to cover the city's population of around 800,000. The company hopes to start work next year. The trial will require a utility grid, and the full deployment will need approximately 188, Jasper said.
