Metronet Fiber
January 02, 2026 Metronet has been a great internet provider for us. We frequently had buffering issues with our last internet provider (Spectrum). Most recently, a neighbor's lawn service crew accidentally cut our internet wire. We called Metronet, and they quickly had someone come out as soon as possible...the next morning. Metronet service and quality overall has been wonderful. Probably our best internet service provider experience so far.

Windstream DSL
March 31, 2023 Our internet provider was switched after we moved and Kinetic was able to hook up our internet in a timely manner. They are professional and helpful in terms of customer service. We do not have cable but we have had no issues with the speed or connection of the Wifi since switching to kinetic. Their pricing seems fair and comparable to other providers so overall, we are satisfied with our provided service.

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.
