My friends with MonkeyBrains grumble about variable bandwidth availability and poor customer service. Sonic has been rock solid for me on both accounts.

Personally, I expect the gigabit connection to make a pretty modest difference for me vs my current ADSL. The main problem it'll solve for me is backups, which take too long to run. It'll also make it much easier to stream audio and video from my home server to other spots when I'm traveling.

I will admit, variable bandwidth availability has been painful sometimes. Sometimes I just want to watch a movie and it's like crawl.

Not sure if that's worth an extra $500/year though for gigabit.

If I'm reading things rightly, it's about $700/year for gigabit. [1] I'm paying something like the same for Sonic's ADSL, so it's a no-brainer for me.

Yes, Sonic's DSL offerings are quite expensive.
