Where the hell are you getting 10Gbps for $50/mo? I'm paying $95/mo for 1Gbps

    I'm actually paying $40/month because I'm on a legacy plan that's $10/month cheaper in exchange for no phone or email support (SMS only) and no free addons like email, web hosting space, eFax, or VPN.

    Sonic has caused the other ISPs to lower their prices here. For example, Comcast Xfinity has 2Gbps for $70/month, although that's not symmetric and only has 250Mbps upload speed. AT&T's fastest plan here is 5Gbps for $155/month.

    There's a few cities throughout the US that have a similar service, or cheap municipal fiber (ran by the city itself). Unfortunately it's not very common though.
