Their site is confusing - they were historically (and still are, in most places) a DSL provider using AT&T for the last hop into the house. Over the past few years they’ve built out their own fiber network which currently has a much smaller footprint. Definitely by far the best residential internet service in the Bay Area, by a mile. They sell both under similar/nearly identical branding.
