If you're not 10Gbps ready (meaning your networking equipment all have Gigabit ports) then it doesn't really make sense to pay for Sonic 10Gbps. I'm sure Sonic sells a lower tier.
But yeah, go with Sonic over ATT.

I’m in the Bay Area and ready to leave comcast as I’m getting charged $220 a month for terrible internet speeds and cable and I’m ready to make the switch to either Sonic(10 gigabit fiber) or ATT’s 1000 plan.
I’ve heard tons of positive feedback about Sonic on Reddit but can’t really say the same for ATT all I want is a stable connection and I’m considering getting rid of cable completely and just using roku and YouTube.

Go with sonic. They use a standard ONT, and you can provide your own router. AT&T requires you to use their proprietary gateway, with no real way to bypass it.
Plus, Sonic is a great local company with good support. For AT&T, your just some schmuck.

Keep in mind that ATT makes you use their Gateway.
Is your wallet ready for 10Gb?

I'm curious about this too. The options I'm seeing in my area are Sonic's FUSION IPBB-F (with a tagline: "Sonic supported internet delivered over AT&T's fiber network, plus one home phone line.")
It seems that this Sonic option is ~$85/month (with rental modem) vs AT&T's 1 gig which is ~$80-90/month. Other than the price, which is basically comparable, any reason to go with Sonic vs AT&T?

Are you sure Sonic has an option at your address or are they just reselling AT&T without doing anything?
Did you plug your address in the sonic website?
I’ve spoken with Sonic through text and they’ve said the 10Gbs fiber service is available. I also asked if the internet plan uses AT&Ts fiber optic lines which he responded with “Yes, this is 100 percent our own fiber, and NOT AT&T resold fiber service”
