Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Kentucky

Brandenburg Telecom Fiber
November 21, 2024 The local telcom supplies our internet here. It's been very good for us, and allows us to stream all the video and games we want, even though we live in the backwoods area of the county. They ran fiber cable all thru the county, and I think they've tried to give fiber to every household - partially because it's cheaper than the old copper line telephone service, I'm sure. The fee is reasonable, and apparently they have up to 1 Gig internet speeds, but I'm on a lower plan because of the cost. Unfortunately, unless you live in the local area, you can't sign up for their service.

AT&T Fiber
February 08, 2023 My internet provider has decent, but inconsistent speed. One of my biggest gripes with my provider is that they do too much traffic shaping and monitoring. For instance, they send takedown notices to people not based on reports, but actual packet sniffing as my neighbor with the same service experienced. Additionally, they severely limit certain kinds of traffic like torrents.
Moreover, they also run an adversarial DNS service and do not let you change your DNS directly on your router. DNS queries are routed to their own servers which actually serve web pages. This is both insecure and invasive.
My last issue with my provider is that they provide poor equipment. Their routers often need frequent rebooting and use older, insecure versions of the manufacturer's firmware. Overall, they do too much to prevent the customer from controlling their own internet experience and experiencing true net neutrality.

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.
