> Sonic's offerings are really geared towards web browsing more than anything.

What do you mean by that? I fully saturate my 1G link for work all the time.

No static IP on fiber connections (like they promised initially), no native IPv6 (although maybe there is on the DSL products), outbound SMTP blocked. For a while there was a tool you could use to adjust your DSL profile to skew it towards upstream bandwidth, but that's since been dropped. No more m-bone access. Stuff like that.

Sonic's shifted from offering a full featured internet connection to a slightly neutered dumb web browsing pipe.
