Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Kentucky
Customer Reviews

Spectrum Cable
June 07, 2024 Spectrum Internet offers a solid and reliable service, particularly commendable for its stability. It manages multiple devices seamlessly, making it a great option for households with high connectivity needs. I work from home and have to upload/download multiple gigs a day and it handles it fine while also playing like Netflix in another room. While it isn't the cheapest option on the market, the consistent performance and ability to support several devices simultaneously provide good value for the cost. In today's market, finding a perfect blend of quality and affordability is challenging, but Spectrum Internet does a commendable job of balancing the two.

Spectrum Cable
March 30, 2023 Spectrum prices low to hook people in, then jacks the price up quickly with no warning or explanation. It's especially hard in a rural area, where they're essentially the only option.
A Berea, KY Customer
Windstream DSL
January 31, 2023 Setting up the internet was extremely fustrating. I had to pretty much be home the entire day as the tech was late and had to come and go multiple times. This whole process took about 2 hours. Other than that the internet speed is great, but just don't like how much I have to pay or that I cannot bring in my own router or Modem. They require a very specific one that you cannot easily find.
A Magnolia, KY Customer
SCRTC Fiber
June 01, 2026 I’ve been impressed with SCRTC’s fiber internet. They offer symmetrical speeds, which is great for things like remote work (which I do), video gaming, or big uploads. Plans go up to 5 Gbps, and pricing is pretty reasonable considering it’s unlimited and super low-latency (I’m seeing like 5 ms pings). They’re part of the Smart Rural Community program, which basically means they’ve invested in solid infrastructure for in remote areas. I'd generally say it’s super reliable, and their tech support has been responsive when needed. I haven't had any outages in the 2 years I've been living here. If you’re in an area where SCRTC fiber is available, it’s probably one of the best options you’ve got. Definitely better than any DSL or cable alternative, especially in rural Kentucky.

Spectrum Cable
May 31, 2026 spectrum internet is a little over priced for what you get. the service is fine, but could be faster. the main problems ive had with spectrum have been their customer support, which is usually slow or just incompetent. if prices were lower this would be not a problem.
