Seconded.  I went looking for the Sonic DSL services as well
and spent a few minutes wondering if I was on the right site.
I kept searching for a link that said "products" or "services"
somewhere.

Out of curiosity, can anyone comment on the real-world
reliability of the WDSL Sonic offers?  I've got reliability
troubles with my current DSL ISP (XO Communications, formerly
Concentric) because they can't keep their network in working
order (although the DSL link itself stays up pretty solidly).

They have one router in particular, which I've reported to
them repeatedly, that just can't keep its shit together.
Since I spend so much time pinging it and the router one
hop prior, I've given them their own special names:

207.88.3.66 fucker      # XO's problem router
64.220.0.49 prefucker   # one hop before problem router
