Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Kentucky
Customer Reviews
A Lexington, KY Customer
Metronet Fiber
April 04, 2026 Metronet Fiber is the best internet I've had thus far in life - I haven't had any legitimate issues besides the occasional slow loading speed. Their customer service is surprisingly pretty great, I feel like a lot of tech companies are difficult to work with. One larger problem I have with them is pricing. For your first year, you get an introductory rate of around $50, which is great. Once that year is up, the price randomly increases from time to time with no warning and at an undetermined rate. Within a couple of years I was nearing $90 which feels outrageous to me. Having said that, in my area, they are known as the best provider, and it's difficult to go through switching, so I just stick with them in the meantime.

Metronet Fiber
March 16, 2023 I really enjoy Metronet being our current internet provider. We used to have Spectrum, and first and foremost, Metronet's customer service is unmatched. They are easy to work with, easier to talk to. Lovelier all around. Spectrum regularly harasses our household by solicitation. The only complaints I could have about Metronet is the fact that they didn't tell people they would need to dig through yards, and that it took 6 different men an entire working day to install our router into the wall on the wrong side when I clearly asked for it to be on a different wall. Outside of that, Metronet has been a dream.

Windstream DSL
January 10, 2023 When they installed my internet, they had to make multiple visits immediately afterwards over the course of two weeks to get the internet properly fixed, as they had issues with their infrastructure and couldn't solve it for way too long.

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.
