Brenton M
Spectrum Cable
November 07, 2025 Was completely satisfied with our internet provider at 1st. After several months our service plan was changed without consent and after paying for the more expensive plan "autopay" we were never reimbursed. Also iy seems like every 3 to 4 months our plan gets more and more expensive.

Conexon Connect Fiber
October 28, 2024 Conexcon is relatively new to the area. We've only had them a couple of weeks but we're more than satisfied. The connection is very fast and we can have multiple devices connected without affecting the connection quality. It is IDEAL for streaming. We feel very lucky as we've upgraded from a hotspot to fiber.

Owensboro Municipal Utilities Fiber
April 04, 2024 Since its installation 3 years ago, I have had little to no problems with my fiber internet service. With my previous provider, I had connection issues multiple times per week that caused me to have to reset my router to get back online. Now, I have had to reset it only a handful of times, which is to be expected since an electronic device should have a break every now and then to run properly. Even during bad weather, I can be confident that I will still have an internet connection. Plus, no one can beat the speed I get for the price I pay. The speed even doubled with no price increase after I was already a 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.
