About this network

SNIC is Sonic.net, LLC, an independent Californian ISP based in Santa Rosa. It began in the 1990s as a regional dial-up and DSL provider and now sells fibre broadband and voice across parts of the San Francisco Bay Area and northern California.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet access. Reverse DNS names the delivery method directly: …fiber.dynamic.sonic.net, …dsl.static.sonic.net, …dedicated.static.sonic.net, alongside router names like vlan102.gw.<site>.sonic.net.
• Some of the space still resolves under the branding of networks Sonic absorbed, including hypersurf.com, fusionbroadband.com and Mendocino Community Network's mcn.org.

Notable

• This is an eyeball network: the great majority of the address space is assigned to end subscribers, not to servers.
• Sonic is unusual among US ISPs for its public stance on customer privacy, including a deliberately short retention window for subscriber records and an outspoken position in surveillance-related legal disputes.
• The mix of DSL and fibre naming in the same AS reflects a long, gradual technology transition rather than a clean cutover.
