I'm not entirely pleased with sonic.net. They have a nice business plan, but they don't care about the deep issues.

For example, Dane is against Net Neutrality, and he doesn't think IPv6 is terribly important.

The beta IPv6 service is manually configured, and some time around the weekend they changed my IP address via DHCP, breaking my IPv6 tunnel. I'm going to have to hunt down my sonic.net login so I can get my tunnel back. Or switch to an he.net tunnel.

Do you have a link to qualify the statement Dane is anti NN? Knowing him and his business I find that hard to believe.

On IPv6 their implementation might be beta but most ISPs don't offer anything and don't care.

NN as proposed is actually bad/horribad for all operators, so I wouldn't be surprised if Dane was against it. Its not even all that good for consumers for a variety of reasons but its not something that fits well into a HN comment.

I also can't say that I've ever had Sonic be unconcerned with deep issues. FWIW, my tunnel is fine although if yours is busted it seems like that'd be something you would have been notified about or was done as a mistake.

To caveat, I've known the Sonic guys forever, like since "I was installing modems for one of San Francisco's first ISP in 1995" forever. I've never had a bad experience with them, and I've dealt with a lot of operators...
