There's a trick to downloading older versions of apps still in the App Store: https://medium.com/@iosight/how-to-legally-download-any-prev...

I was able to get this working recently* to get an older version of Pandora installed on an original iPhone.

Problem with this method is you're guessing at version numbers to find a version that will work, but it's neat when it does!

*The article says certificate pinning breaks this, but there's a comment about how to add Charles Proxy's certificate to your trust store which seems to circumvent this.


Interesting. Might be underground fiber. Permits are usually the same for blocking the street for manhole access and blocking the street for a bucket truck (Temporary Occupancy) but maybe neither of this was necessary and/or the fiber was pulled when the building was built.

I'm curious to see if the block your building is on has Sonic self-reporting has having gigabit service available. The FCC has a map at https://www.fcc.gov/maps/fixed-broadband-deployment-data/ but the data is 9 months old (ISPs are given 6 months to report data twice a year and the FCC publishes it about 3 months later)


Happy to see this hit the front page.

I wanted to share this with the users at https://forums.sonic.net who have been pining for maps but you need a Sonic.net account to post. If anyone is willing to share, I'd appreciate it.


I posted it to the Access forum there.

Thanks for the map, it is now clear to me that they will not get to many of the hills of the city for quite some time.


There are examples of complaints about this on Sonic's forums[0] If you're not parallel to a line you might be out of luck.

Glad it worked!

I was spot-checking various addresses but Sonic's captcha makes it painful. Interestingly there seems to be no correlation to when a permit was pulled vs when service is actually available. There are addresses covered by permits from last year that aren't serviceable until 2018!


Budgeting? Staffing skills? Cautious entry? Revenue ROI projection validation?

Could be a range of factors....

Having the permit doesnt mean the fiber is pulled.

Fiber puller could be a third party installer and the negotiate contract cost/schedule/other legal-BS

I recall seeing some guys in 2012 up near 21st and Market, above castro - noe valley border, installing fiber. I stopped and asked them who tey were pulling the fiber for and the said "google" -- although google still doesnt have any residential fiber in that area that I know of... I could only think it was more for a "googler" as opposed to "google" or a "google user" -- or the guy was BSing...

Anyway, permit doent mean the lines are slpliced/polished/terminated and that they have equipment to light them up yet.

Heck - they may have access to conduit etc... but they may not have equipment space negotiations with some telco who has a CO in the area. and you know how much fun telco-to-telco contracting agreements are....


Very very true. I should clarify that the map is speculative at best.


Thanks!

Data is specific based on the city's permits. If Brentwood has a site similar to http://bsm.sfdpw.org/ for pulling permits that would be a start. You can always check your address at https://www.sonic.com/availability too.


The data in the permits are just pairs of intersections. Sometimes there's some confusion on which part of the street is referenced in the permit vs the data from the city. Next time around I want to use the city's street shapefile to try and fix this.


There are other problems like the line that covers all of 23rd St which I don't believe is accurate and the line cutting across Golden Gate Park.
