The emergency migration/backup implemented on Friday appears to be working with a few reports of packet loss that our engineering team is currently looking into.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outage and appreciate your understanding and patience. Thank you for choosing Sonic!

SSE Network Outage
Early this morning there was an outage on the SSE network due to hardware failures on upstream provider infrastructure. This outage affected a subset of the SSE network. Sonic has been working closely with our partner organizations to get timely repairs coordinated in order to address the root cause of this outage.
In the meantime, Sonic engineers delivered another solution to restore connectivity. Sonic has deployed new hardware that accepts customer traffic in order to restore customer services and has verified this to be a successful solution while we await the completion of repairs within the upstream provider network.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the previous outage and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We are committed to providing you with the best possible internet experience and we thank you for choosing us as your provider.
