The tech who installed was amazing and professional. His name is Bryon. He made sure everything was working fine before he leaves. The customer service whom I talked to before installation is my disappointment. I scheduled an install and I wanted the 300mbps. I called again prior the installation and said I wanna try 100 mbps first since I only have 2 phones and 1 laptop to use. She said, "Ok, we can do 100 mbps first and you can always upgrade whenever." I thought upon installation, it is 100 mbps. 2 days later, I signed up on the app and saw that my bill is for the 300 mbps. She didn’t changed it prior to installation. I talked to customer service and they had it changed. I saw the email and notif on the app, it was really changed. BUT my first bill is still for that 300 mbps. It's a shame that it's only 2 days that I am using the 300 mbps but they couldn’t reverse it. And to think that I asked to changed it prior to installation.

The installation of our Kinetic was good and quick. And the installers were very careful. So far, the quality of their service is good.

Internet when up is great but in outage you cannot reach a live person. On our 3rd set of equipment because of failure with no tech visit to our home. Told company policy is for customer must do tech service as they only send tech out for installation. Not a customer oriented company.
Hi Bruce, I’m sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. I understand how disappointing it is to have good service when the internet is working, but then be unable to reach a live person during an outage and have to deal with multiple equipment failures without the option of a technician visit. I can see why that would feel unhelpful and not customer-oriented, and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Upgrading to Kinetic fiber was 100% painless. Everything went smoothly even though there were a few glitches. From the tech spending time to make sure all was working correctly and that I understood everything to the two customer reps in Arkansas patiently helping me, all went smoothly. I have been pleased with service and all working smoothly for now. Pricing is much more economically feasible for my needs. Can’t say enough about my experience ! Have used this company throughout its numerous name changes!

I would like to stay by saying that the internet service is top notch, no issues. But the customer service is lacking. I was told by several different people that my address was set up for fiber, only to find on the day of install that it's not and it could take 4 to 6 weeks (or longer!) to rectify the issue. Come on guys, do better.
Hi Mike! Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear your internet service has been top notch, but I’m sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced with the information provided before your installation. I understand how disappointing it must have been to be told multiple times that your address was ready for fiber, only to learn on the day of install that it was not and that the delay could take several more weeks to resolve.

Hi Patricia,
I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I reviewed your account and found that an order had been placed but was subsequently canceled by the system, likely due to an issue with the scheduled dates.
To resolve this, I have submitted a new order and ensured that the discount previously discussed has been applied. Your new order number is R03069.

I have been a Kinetic customer for quite some time and recently saw a Facebook advertisement offering internet service for $24.99 per month. I called and asked if they would honor that rate for me as an existing customer. They agreed, but the discounted price was only applied for one month instead of the advertised promotional period. After noticing the issue, I spent time on the phone with customer service and eventually had to speak with a supervisor because the representative could not resolve it. I was assured the billing problem had been corrected and even received a credit on my account.
Unfortunately, after reviewing my bank statements, I discovered that Kinetic has continued charging the higher rate for several months through auto-pay. Now I have to spend even more time calling customer service again and asking them to honor the pricing that was promised. The most frustrating part is having to repeatedly monitor my bill and follow up on billing errors that should have been corrected the first time. The service itself has been fine, but the billing experience and lack of follow-through have been very disappointing.
HI Brandy! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I understand how this could be frustrating.
After reviewing the account, it appears you are still receiving the new-customer discount that was applied when you originally enrolled in service. Promotional offers can vary over time and may differ from current advertised rates, but the discount currently on your account reflects the promotion agreed to at the time of enrollment.
In addition to the credits already being applied, you may also qualify for an additional $5 monthly discount by enrolling in Auto Pay.
If you would like assistance reviewing that option, please feel free to contact me directly at uniticanhelp@uniti.com. Thank you!

I had a year agreement for lower rate of $35 a month. Up it went to $50 a month. I called and representative told me they had an increase. I said I had an agreement. He said, "Well this is just for one month." Three months later I'm still paying $50 a month and all y'all do is advertise starting at 19.99 and 24.99 and I'm paying $50 a month. Your representative lied to me and very unpleasant and never got a call back.
HI Rick, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I understand how frustrating this situation must be.
After reviewing the account, it appears that you are currently receiving promotional credits of $50 for 24 months beginning in May 2025, along with a credit covering your monthly modem charge. Those promotions are still active on your account.
While we understand your concern regarding the advertised rates, new customer promotions are available only to qualifying new customers and do not apply to existing service under a current promotional agreement.

They have monopoly you have no other option, but kinetic internet. Kinetic has horrible customer service with a Uneducated bot both online and on the phone.. you have to pay fees just to pay online but there is no place that you can play in person. Must pay by card only and pay two dollars and 30 cent processing fee. With kinetic you have to argue with them to get anything done. Kinetic also does not have physical locations but has 2 locations in my town. I fully wish I didn't need internet or I totally leave this company and I wish was a better company here, like ETC to have internet service with at least they know how to have actual human customer support that is in your local community with locations that you can come and use cash to pay your bill. And not charge you of fees because of processing that only allows cards.
Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand your concerns regarding customer service and payment options.
We would like to clarify that the $2.30 processing fee applies to payments made by card and is not a fee that goes directly to Kinetic. Customers who enroll in Auto Pay using a bank account instead of a debit or credit card can avoid this processing fee.I understand how important convenient support and payment options are, and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

I have been a Concord telephone company, Windstream and now Kinetic customer for 46+ years. We are trying to obtain our phone log for May 26th and 27th in order to assist law enforcement with keeping my medical staff safe and out of harm's way. There is an apparently a mentally ill individual that is harassing my staff members multiple times (10+) with abusive, aggressive and threatening phone calls through your phone system. It seems like that should be a fairly simple task. However, it appears that at this point that is too difficult for your company to accomplish. Poor customer service! Priscilla ** was very helpful and did what I believe is all that she could to help us stay safe in our private medical office. However, no one beyond her is bothering to help us try to stay out of harm's way. My son is an attorney and we are considering getting him involved if that is what it is going to take to keep the staff from being afraid to be at work.
