I lived with 3 Mbps DSL for over a decade due to ATT being too cheap to replace the phone lines out here at the beach; phone lines that go back to the late 40's, early 50's.
When the finally replaced the lines I got 6 Mbps while I waited for them to install the U-verse boxes, again the 'Outerlands', as we are called, got U-Verse LAST!!!
For some reason SONIC Fiber did the Outer Sunset first, running fiber down The Great Highway a couple months ago. They are covering the Sunset and Richmond Districts first before moving inland to the areas where the 'Techies' live.
Go figure.

...I'm not on CenturyLink phone company DSL.
I have Comcast cable which is a bit pricey but I'm happy with the reliable 180Mbs or so. Comcast is supposedly one of the most hated companies on the planet but funny how so many people have their service. It's a semi-monopolistic love-hate relationship. ;-)
Because most people rely on them for their Tech Support. I have had Comcast for over 6 years and have never had to call them for a technical reason.
With that said, I hate them because they are a monopoly here, and are free to raise prices much higher than the inflation rate.
I believe that internet access should be treated as a utility, like the Electric and Gas Bill.
