SCRTC Internet Reviews

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.

They take advantage of the fact that they have a monopoly in the area. It is a very horrible situation but there's nothing you can really do, since everyone needs internet in this day and age. They charge $85 for 7Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Whereas I have friends who live in other areas getting 1 Gbps for even cheaper than my slow speed. It is crazy that companies are allowed to take advantage of customers like this, especially since tax payers already paid for fiber to be installed across the entire country!
