  1. Seeking feedback from non-Sonic members - Why not switch to ultra fast fiber internet?

    Since building our fiber-to-the-home network in Sebastopol, we have managed to get many households to switch, but about half of the households in Sebastopol are still using Comcast or AT&T instead. ...
  2. Re: Experiences with Sonic and/or DishTV?

    We are working every day to expand our fiber coverage, but have no new location announcements that I can make at this time. Today the Gigabit fiber to the home service is available in Sebastopol, San...
  3. Re: Experiences with Sonic and/or DishTV?

    Thanks much for taking an interest in switching. Sonic is a local company - Santa Rosa based, with 330 staff here. We deliver really wonderful local customer care, which is a pleasure when contrasted...
  4. Re: Feedback on Sonic in Petaluma

    The thing is, our connections should always be the same speed. This is because unlike cable, they are dedicated to each customer, not shared.

    So if speed varies, it's either other usage in the...
  5. Re: WiFi in Sebastopol

    WiFi is limited to 400mw - that's milliwatts, so four-tenths of a watt.

    Compare to AM radio or television service at tens of thousands of watts, and you'll understand why concerns about WiFi are...
  6. WiFi in Sebastopol

    I visited Wacco to see what the local buzz was about Comcast's newly installed WiFi service in Sebastopol, and found nary a mention. Nothing from the "EMF Safety Network" folks either on their site....
  7. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    DAMN! You caught me!

    Ever since joining the Cheminati I have feared that I would be found out! So, I'll let you in on the secret: the whole spraying thing is being done in order to prepare humans...

    Contrails are basic physics, not a vast conspiracy.

  9. Poll: Re: H1N1 Flu Shot - Would You Get One?

    I got mine last week. Took just a moment, didn't hurt much, and was free from my health plan.

    I used to skip the flu shot, but now that I've got young kids in the household, including one with...
  10. Re: Logitech Revue- THE BEST!

    Broadband Internet access is required for this type of device. Generally you'll need a connection providing at least 3Mbps of speed to stream video, plus either Ethernet wiring from your router to...
  11. Re: Airport Expansion - Voice your opinion

    I certainly hope they vote to approve the lengthening of the runway. Having small regional jets going to more destinations would be a big win for Sonoma County.

    Today from Santa Rosa if you are...
  12. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    I love the point he makes at the end: "Why don't they just spray them at night?"

    Her response: "Because ..... Chemtrails."

    LOL.
  13. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    Just to bring closure to this portion of the thread, these "chemtrails" pre-date the 1986 "dawn of the chemtrails" (or maybe it was the awakening of a particular paranoid mind). These photos are...
  14. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    Lulz. Apparently Kucinich didn't read the bill well enough before he endorsed it. It sounds like it came from UFO enthusiasts, and Kucinich later modified the bill, saying "“I’m not into that....
  15. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    Sorry, I didn't realize that it was important to see the development over a period of time. Here's two pictures that should make it clear, as the trails fan out and spread.

    Are they chemtrails?
    ...
  16. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    Nope, I've got no other explanation. You've pegged it.

    Contrails have formed behind jets since jets the beginning of the "jet era", the late 1950's. The "phenomenon" of the word "chemtrails" can...
  17. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    They are in a hold. When traffic is inbound to an airport that is busy, air traffic control will put them in a hold somewhere to space things out. These can be part of a published instrument...
  18. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    The wake of a plane moves down and back - so if in fact the nose of the new plan cut right through the contrail of the plane that left the contrail, the first plane would have been higher than the...
  19. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    As a pilot, I can comment on this one a bit. When large jets travel, their "wake" is a sort of downdraft, which moves down and back. (Small planes can be tossed about violently, so you should always...
  20. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    This brief video may help explain condensation trails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW9j-_1haGk

    When fuel is burned, you get a few things - CO2, H2O (water), and carbon particulate. The carbon...
  21. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    Zero.

    Posting random pictures of jet airliner condensation trails doesn't mean anything.

    A suggestion: If you see a jet leaving behind a contrail, and you think it might be a sinister...
  22. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    I'll just leave this here.

  23. Re: Sonic internet v.s. ATT?

    We have built out Fusion in most of the Sonoma County central offices / exchanges - but it has limited reach around each. Coverage includes the central offices in most cities. (In Sonoma County, the...
  24. Re: Sonic internet v.s. ATT?

    That is one of our challenges - getting over "...but what's the catch?" No one has offered a product like ours before, with unlimited land line and non-tiered (just full max speed your line will...
  25. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    I think we should talk about this topic:

  26. Re: Reporter seeking "unbiased" information on Chemtrails

    No, no, of course not! We pay the spacing guild to create these conditions using their weather control satellites.

  27. Re: Sonic brings ultra-fast Internet to Sebastopol

    Basically due to the proximity of our existing fiber backbone, Florence is the natural starting point. It's also a pretty neato street, you must admit!

    Our second and third phases will expand...
  28. Re: Sonic brings ultra-fast Internet to Sebastopol

    Thanks for the posting Barry, it's certainly interesting news for Sebastopol.

    And...no EMF! Ride the light, folks!

  30. Re: Need some advice regarding a low cost or free program similar to Constant Contact

    Sonic.net offers Mailman mailing lists to customers, no charge. You can use them as discussion lists, or for broadcast mailings (as long as you are not spamming - people signed up.)

  32. Re: CVS Proposes Windowless Building Downtown

    I'm no fan of CVS; I miss Longs in Santa Rosa, CVS is a poor substitute.

    That said, the new site plan and accompanying letter on the website link you provided seem designed to address these...
