Dadrionna S
Spectrum Fiber
May 24, 2025 Spectrum internet has been a solid choice for me. I've been using it for a few years now, i've had no major complaints. The speeds are consistant, and I can stream and work from home with ease. The pricing is fair especially compared to other providers.The only complaint I have is the modem rental fees I feel are unnecessary.
Gale L.
Verizon Fixed Wireless
April 30, 2023 I live in a very rural area where cable and DSL aren't available, so Verizon has been great for me. My plan is unlimited, unlike the satellite internet we had before. I work from home, we homeschool, love to stream entertainment and I have teenage sons who game. Verizon has served us well at a reasonable price, I love it.
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.
Jen L.
Spectrum Cable
May 22, 2026 My husband works for Spectrum's design office and our internet is free. I work from home and am able to connect flawlessly while my kids stream tv and play games. I appreciate the app that accompanies the service, as I recieve outage alerts and bill reminders. Any time we have had an issue, I have had a quick response from customer service or my app alerts me of a service disruption. Overall I am very pleased with the quality of our internet service and responsiveness of the provider.
