    Good consistent internet service. Trying to maintain my subscription cost each year takes more time than I would like in trying to prevent Kinetic from increasing my monthly cost, then having to credit the difference. There are cheaper promo deals out there, but I'm more interested in getting quality internet and customer support service. I'll stay with Kinetic until I'm given a good reason not to.

    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. If you would like assistance reviewing your payment options, please feel free to contact me directly at uniticanhelp@uniti.com.

    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.

    Kinetic is the worst internet service provider in south central Kentucky. The weather affects the service, getting ahold of customer support is a 45 minute wait time minimum. They are higher priced than everyone else. There are no humans to help if there’s a problem and just to reset your email or log in info is a 45 minute hold on the phone. If you try to log in your account online it is impossible if you have changed your email. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. They leave you feeling robbed and unsatisfied .

    I’ve had Kinetic/Windstream service for ~4 years, it was all I could get, and the experience has been consistently frustrating. I am paying for high-speed internet, but the service I actually receive does not come close to what is advertised. Speeds are frequently well below what I’m paying for. Service drops or becomes unstable on a regular basis, sometimes it's daily/hourly. Performance varies wildly throughout the day.

    Attempts to resolve issues through customer service have not resulted in any lasting fix (10 technician calls in the past year alone, 30+ calls over the past year alone (minimum 30 mins per call). This is not a one-time issue — it has been an ongoing pattern. The inconsistency makes it difficult to rely on this service for normal daily use, including work and general household needs.

    The most frustrating part is the lack of accountability. As a customer, I expect either: the service I’m paying for, or a clear and permanent resolution when issues are reported. Right now, I’m getting neither. At this point, I’m switching providers and would not recommend this service unless meaningful improvements are made. I would strongly encourage Kinetic/Windstream to address these reliability issues and improve their responsiveness to customers.

    Horrible customer service. Everything is automated and doesn't work. Somehow the only number I have is not registered so I have to hunt down my account when I call. The automated person spouts some generic nonsense about them working diligently to restore my service that has gone out for the 5th time in the 2 months I've had them and transfers me to a chat. If I wanted to chat, I would have started there. The chat on the app does not respond. Online chat takes you in circles and will not provide information to file a complaint. They claim a complaint has to be filed with the local franchise but will not provide the information for your area. Avoid them at all costs. If you are lucky and patient enough to navigate through their purposely evasive system and get a ticket created, they give you a resolution date that is a month out. I don't live in the middle of the woods. It is not unreasonable to have reliable internet. I'll be switching ASAP.

Not only did they run it to the main box in the front yard, but they also took the liberty of doing me a service by running it to my house. I never asked for it to be run, as I don't want their garbage service. That will be removed by me in short order.

Unacceptable and I’m looking for other providers which is hard being that I’m in a rural area which is why they can do whatever they want and assume paying customers just have to take it. Ridiculous.

    Hello! I’m sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to be without service for that length of time, especially after multiple contacts, a rescheduled appointment without notice, and interactions that left you feeling unheard. I also understand your concern about being asked to pay your bill while your service was still out, as well as your frustration with rising rates and worsening service after many years as a customer. I would appreciate the opportunity to review your concerns further, including the outage, appointment rescheduling, billing concerns, and your recent customer service experiences.

    Me and my wife have had Kinetic for a year, and we haven’t had many issues up until we planned to move, the support for Kinetic is hot garbage and with all internet companies come issues so if you plan on talking to them for anything, you're better off talking to a brick wall. Me and my wife have been without service for multiple days leading up to our shutoff date which was scheduled for the 15th and we haven’t had service since the 5th. HOW THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE, and we tried calling back and they told us due to THEIR own mistake that we would have to come out of pocket and open a new account. Pls choose any other company. I’d choose Spectrum and they suck but hey it’s better than Kinetic considering Spectrum wouldn’t cut my internet off 10 days before the schedule date and I’m still paying for it but hey go Kinetic.

    They allowed my 98-yr old father to be without call out services on his phone for over a week! He couldn't reach any family members or call out to 911. I called and spoke with over 7 people. One of them in the process cancelled the repair ticket and I had to demand to speak to supervisor. They kept refusing to send out a tech, saying the line is just fine. They scheduled to come out and never showed. I had to call again and it was scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th 10:45 am-12:45 pm. The tech didn't show and I was on a live chat demanding he call me. Someone showed up until 3 pm and at 4pm, the originally scheduled tech appeared. I reported them to the FCC!

    Original Review: When I come out of the hospital, I had to disconnect Kinetic services. I was told the box was out of date and did not need to be returned. It had been in this apartment for over six years however, today I received not only a full bill which I should not have, but I received a return label to return them their items. Thank God I did not listen to the woman and throw it away. They listen to the conversation and said even though I was given bad information the fault would lie with me. This is horribly unacceptable.

    If I could give 1 star I would. I have had them for 4 years. Most spent on the copper internet which would go out when it rained. Frustrating yes but nothing compared to the trouble I now have with the fiber. It goes out at least once to twice a month for over a year now. Stays out for 2-4 days each time. Customer service zero help. We live in an area with no cell service so we heavily rely on internet. They leave us without access to 911 for days on end and no one cares.

    Also if you are without any service with them it is your responsibility to call and request an adjustment to your bill. When I called billing to let them know I was now into a different billing cycle and still didn't have internet they said I would have to be given a new ticket because that's how they know how long I've been without service.

    We had Windstream until 5 years ago and then changed to Spectrum. Today I called Kinetic to inquire about their fiber optic which is now available in our area. I spoke with a customer representative who kept asking me for my birth date. When I refused to tell her, she sent me to her supervisor who continued to badger me for that information, saying that he needed it for various reasons (to avoid a deposit, to give me free installation, etc.). Finally I gave it to him and said that he understood why I didn't want to give to him, because I owed Windstream money. He then told me to hang up.

    I called another number and talked to various people at Windstream. No one could find that I owed them any money (in fact I have my final statement which has a zero balance). They couldn't locate my previous account, though I gave them my phone number and that account number. I then spoke with someone at customer service who assured me that some on the "team" would check this out and get back to me. However, she couldn't give me a case number or any way to check up on what was discovered.

    I am now concerned that these two employees are running a scam on the side, and will try to steal my identity. We pay Spectrum twice as much for half of the bandwidth, compared with the plan that I was going to get with Kinetic. Their customer service representatives are polite and helpful.

So calling and complaining every day. They sent someone and they knew what they was doing compared to the others. But yet for $80 my WiFi shouldn’t be this bad, I can’t even run my tv and phone at the time without it turning red or shutting off randomly,.

    Overpriced garbage internet! Our internet rarely works and I'm paying $128 a month! My bill was $80 a month then it jumped to $100, then jumped to $108, then jumped to $128 without extra charges being explained! It was out for 3 weeks and we got a new modem and it worked for one week than back out again. This internet company is the worse and overcharge you extra charges that are not explained in your bill!

    I had a different provider for quite a while, but they kept raising their price every year. I threatened them that I'll change to Kinetic. They still couldn’t do anything about it so I switched to Kinetic.

    I'm pretty satisfied with this setup and haven't got any complaints. I'm finally used to using it. I also have a tablet and phone I use with Wi-Fi at home. It's supposed to be high-speed internet. The price could be better but could also be worse. I've had Kinetic for at least two years now/

    I’ve had other forms of internet before where it loses signal and takes time to get itself back to normal. But Kinetic has always been good and had no problems like that. I think the only outage I've ever had is when the power goes out, so it's not really Kinetic's fault.

    The customer service is pretty good. Any time I've ever had to call them, it's been satisfactory. I had an issue with a small TV in the kitchen and didn't know if it was the internet connection or the TV. The guy was trying to upsell me some package, that he could tell me whether my TV was bad or my service. I'm supposed to have that package already, but that guy tweaked me a little bit. It turned out to be the TV anyway.

    Other experiences I've had with Kinetic has been okay. I get offers from the other companies all the time now. They're gonna give me this and that, but I don't like change. So, as long as Kinetic is still affordable, I’ll just stay where I am. I'm satisfied with the service I get.

    Updated on 12/25/2025: Terrible, I only gave a 2 because of the at first they were good. They shuck you in and then show who they are. Paid my bill faithfully every month and now they can keep it. $37 bill turned into $122 and now $207. It was like they wanted me to leave. No excuse. It started buffering and the bill crazy. So I'm gone. Kinetic is Windstream Double terrible.

    Original review: I gave it 2 stars because in the beginning they were great, like most companies. Slowly it started to change. My granddaughter homeschooling so internet is important. Then the price doubled and when asked for help, 1, it was like pulling teeth to talk to a human and when I did they sent me all over to get help. Instead of $30 a month it went to $40, then $50 then $60. Where my last bill, yes I canceled my bill was $120. My neighbors were over $200. The neighbors were offered to a cheaper price of again $30, me they sent me a final disconnect letter for $34 and no discount. They did this to me once before but like a fool I went back, Never again gonna pay this bill and move on.

    Very poor Internet service and customer service isn't any better. They try to blame poor service on things you're doing but their technician that was sent to the house already proved that was a lie. We live in a rural area so we are still on copper lines. Technician informed us at the house that Kinetic wasn't investing anymore into copper lines any longer and our cabinet is already down the road and no more services can be added. They are going to be going to fiber lines but it will be years before we see that happen where we are. Once the customer service agent realized I knew just as much as her she admitted I was right. They have also sent technicians out to my house that realize it's more work than they want to do so they make up something say it's fixed and it's not.

    Thankfully the last technician we had at least let us know the truth and was able to get us up and running the best she could but she said our box outside the house was definitely not up to Kinetic standards and the last tech should have replaced it and because of that we could experience slow Internet speeds. Ran a speed test this morning with agent and speed was 8.16.

    Kinetic went up $13 on my bill this month. Even more irritating than this increase is the fact that you cannot speak to a manager. The young woman that was helping did a great job. But the manager "had stepped outside," which was the excuse last time. I finally asked for a breakdown of what I was paying for and found I had been paying for a phone all this time-which I have never had with Kinetic. This dropped my bill $20-had I known this a year ago-I would have been paying much less. Bad form Kinetic - bad service from your managers - bad practice in charging inflated prices that are not noted on the bill.

    It started out super good with Kinetic. It was fast but after a couple months the speed of the internet started getting slow. I said something about it and they came out and replaced the modem. It helped for about two weeks but now it's right back to being slow. They said they didn't throttle the speed but I don't know what else it could be.

    I've reset my computer and all that stuff and it doesn't help. That indicates to me that somebody's doing something somewhere. And I know the more people that's on it, it'll affect the speed but what we're getting now is ridiculous.

    Kinetic gives me specials, but each time, they went up a little bit. This time they gave me a good discount but it still increased a couple of dollars over what I was paying before– a $30 increase. They gave me a special for a year and then said I'd have to call back next year. The prices keep going up and I believe they're gouging us big time.

They were pretty prompt as far as the installation goes, we have a three level home and they brought the service in through the first level and then for the other two levels they put extenders on as they were having problems getting any sort of signal strength.

    I have complained since the beginning about slow, slow speed, and each time I was assured that the problem was resolved which it wasn’t then I was told that if I wanted faster speed, but I should increase the speed that I was paying for, so I opted up to speed up to one gig and still have severely flow speeds. 150 to 170 MB per second. Whenever I call for service I’m told that we have eight or 900 MB coming into the house but I like stand right next to the router and check the speed. It’s less than 150.

I was surprised to learn that I had to pay a $15.00 dollar convenience fee for using the internet to pay my monthly Windstream bill. I was even more surprised when I called Windstream and found out that I have to pay a fee to talk to a customer service representative. Even if you agree to pay them for customer support, they will put you on a musical merry go round. You'll be lucky if you get anything but another charge for calling them. They are not a customer friendly corporation, and I do not recommend Windstream by Kinetic.

    Called about internet. The offer is $40 for their fiber, Kinetic, or $120 for their best broadband which is 24mbps (hasn't changed since I was there in college 10yrs ago minus the price going way up). So they're charging triple the price for a vastly outdated and inferior product. Won't negotiate at all to lower the bill, despite not offering kinetic on my road in Dahlonega. This is atrocious customer service, and taking advantage of customers. This company is awful. Get Starlink or anything else over them that you can.

    My experience with Windstream over the past two weeks has been an absolute nightmare and is, frankly, the worst customer service I have ever encountered.

    My internet service has been out for two full weeks. After a technician finally showed up initially and confirmed the line was completely destroyed (burnt in an alley fire), the issue became one of scheduling the repair.

    Starting Monday, October 27th, and continuing through Friday, October 31st, I was scheduled for a technician visit every single day. I wasted multiple work-from-home days and had to make daily arrangements for someone to be at my house on my in-office days, all based on Windstream’s repeated daily promise. Not only did a technician fail to show up five consecutive times, but not a single person from Windstream proactively reached out to communicate the delay, cancellation, or reschedule of any appointment.

    The irony is astounding: earlier in this process, I was told that if I was not present for a scheduled appointment, I would be charged a $50 no-show fee. Windstream has now no-showed five times in a row, causing me significant stress and lost work hours, with zero accountability, communication, or apology.

    Today, after enduring this ridiculous cycle, I have attempted to cancel my service entirely and have been on hold for over 30 minutes just to speak to a cancellation agent. Windstream's ability to take your money is flawless; their ability to provide service, fix a problem, or even communicate basic status updates is non-existent. Avoid this company at all costs.

    Switched to Kinetic in May; switching back set up for mid November. They claim no "no signal" areas in the house - not true for me. I have called numerous times for outages, no internet, their app saying there is a problem with my internet. Every time you call, it is to a call center and they read the script and make you do all the restarts even if you have done them and called before; they almost refuse to send to you to a level two tech without doing their script even when the customer is told to ask for a level 2 tech, being on hold forever to get to them, having to use only their app which today told me my outage would be repaired in November of 2023.

    I've had it with them. I'm going back to local - Blue Ridge - they may have had an issue because they were upgrading to fiber and just wouldn't say so to be patient or offer a discount or lower the service with the discount because the upgrade was their service fault but at least they are a local company, I can drive to their office for equipment if needed.

    There was no internet at all for several years where I live and Kinetic came through with the fiber optics. I use it to binge-watch Netflix. I also have a business in Quaker City and I have it at my business. When we’re out or in town, especially in Quaker City, there’s basically no internet. Once you go a quarter mile past my road, you don’t get service until you get home, unless you’re inside someone’s house. About a mile from my house, my phone works fine, and I have no issues at home. I even had Kinetic move my service from the front of my shop to the back because I wasn’t getting good coverage. The techs came out the very next day, moved it, and didn’t charge me.

    I've had Kinetic for years and a half now and the only problem I’ve had is that I started out with a nice rate and after a year, it went up from 55 to 90. They jumped too fast. But they brought it down $5 when I reached out to them. My mother had another company and it was always slow.

    The service of Kinetic has been great. I don’t have a problem with the internet itself. My problem is with my bill. I'm just dissatisfied with the price I was getting, and I’m not pleased with the increases.

    It was $114. Back in May, it jumped to $126. They told me that I would have to pay $126 in June, and it would go back down to $114. It went to $117 for one month, and now it’s back to $124 or $125 a month. When they took it, they said they would take it back down to $114 or $117. Well, I went paperless, so it was supposed to knock $2 a month off. I was looking at a $115 bill and not up to $125 or $124. When they were taking it back down to $114, they told me that that would be good through the end of the year. And here I am in October, still paying 120 some dollars a month.

    I'm pleased with the service. They're very polite, and they listen to the questions that I have. But they’re not really helpful. They tell me that they can take back the price for so many months, but don't do it. Another problem I have is I don't get any forewarning.

    Problems started when Kinetic pulled the lines and got us off the service that was in the ground and replaced it with aerial lines. They ran coax from the pole to the house instead of fiber into the router, which meant I wasn’t getting full fiber speeds. I raised the issue, but they wouldn’t adjust the bill. They required a phone line for internet, which I didn’t need, and I ended up paying for a phone I never used. I warned them that they’re gonna end up losing customers because they couldn’t keep up with the workforce. They bit off more than they could chew and didn't have the personnel or the workforce to back up their customers.

    I called about constant buffering because I couldn’t even watch a movie. I tried rebooting the router and Wi-Fi, and did everything I could to try to fix the problem. But Kinetic said it would take almost three weeks to send a technician. I asked who I needed to talk to in order to cancel my account with them. I told them that if they were not going to come out and fix it in the next few days, I was going to cancel and go with somebody else. They said there wasn’t anybody else available, and I told them that there was. I cancelled it and went with TruVista, and I’m happy with them. TruVista offered internet without a phone at about half the cost, so I switched. My family and neighbors have also switched to TruVista because Windstream won't stand behind it.

    When a tree took down lines, TruVista fixed them within three days and checked each house on the road to ensure speed and service were back to standard. If Kinetic comes back and asks what they can do to win me back, I’ll sit down and talk to them. They need to understand that competition is strong, and other providers are more reliable.

    HI Jerry, We’re very sorry for the experience you described. For true fiber-to-the-premises, the standard setup is a fiber drop to an indoor or outdoor ONT with an Ethernet handoff to the router (not coax), so we want to investigate what happened at your address, review billing for accuracy, and ensure your account was closed out correctly with no lingering charges.

I was with their predecessor prior to Windstream when they bought the predecessor out. So far, their service has been adequate. But they're not good on timely service if there's an outage and it takes a long time to get a service ticket responded to. They used to be much better. A few years ago, they used to have on-site people and now they don't or they have reduced them greatly.

I live alone and only have one computer and one phone, but the bill was out of sight. That was just this year, a few months ago in April. They looked at it and reduced the price because there was a lot of stuff I didn't even need.

    When we first moved into the house we’re in now, which was three years ago, I had no internet other than satellite internet out there. So, we waited, and Kinetic was finally running fiber optic there. And I needed the internet for my work-from-home job. So, it was the only good internet to get out there. I didn’t have much of a choice unless I wanted the crappy satellite. So, I was in touch with them back and forth for a year, waiting for it to get finished. And then, when it got finished, we finally got it. 

    I don’t have a telephone service through them, but the telephone service that I have isn’t great where we live. So, I’m able to turn on my Wi-Fi calling and take calls. The quality of their service is wonderful. I haven’t had any problems with it other than most recently. We’ve had it so long that our bill is going up. So, instead of the $50, $60 that it was when we started, it’s $90. I could be paying $94 for this good internet.

    I feel that it’s worth it, but at the same time, I don’t like paying my bill and seeing that new customers are getting $24 a month for the same internet that I’m paying $90. And I’ve been a long-time customer. So, I was thinking that there should be a discount there for being a loyal customer. But there is not. Your price goes up after a couple of years. But it’s still worth it. It’s still a good product because it’s really good internet. And then, if I still had my work-from-home job, I couldn’t do it without it.

    It’s been amazing with Kinetic Windstream. Every time we have a problem, it gets fixed ASAP. We had to fix our wire once because it got messed up outside while I was cleaning. The other issue was the box we rented from them. Ours was too old. Now it works faster and better. The internet reaches even to my yard and in my carport. We have the gamer’s package because my husband and kids are into games. There has never been a glitch when the power goes out or during bad weather because we have fiber wires. The fiber wire is very top-notch, worth it, and up-to-date. It is way better than what we had three years ago. Ever since we switched to Kinetic Windstream, we have had no issues.

    It’s very easy to get in contact with the representatives. When I had to help my friend and contacted Kinetic Windstream, somebody answered right away. The lady was so nice, helpful, and understanding to my 72-year-old friend. I have been referring Kinetic Windstream to people. I have referred them to my mom’s friend who moved up the street from me and she loves them too. They said something about receiving a gift card, but I haven’t received anything or information about it.

    I first heard about Kinetic on the TV, and then a sales agent came by to talk to me about it. It sounded like a good deal, so I decided to sign up. I’m having great service with the internet. I use it for my work in the office and I also have a television for watching programs. The price is good, and the quality of the service would be a 10 out of 10. People need to try Kinetic, they might be greatly surprised by it.

    When I got here to Glenwood about two years ago, we had Kinetic set up our high speed internet. I talked to them on the phone and it was very positive. The installation was wonderful. The fellows who came and got me all hooked up were great. I've looked at other companies and I think I've got a very good deal with them. I would tell people to go with Kinetic. I enjoy everything they've done for me.

    There’s no good satellite where I live out there. And my neighbors had gotten Kinetic and told us about it, so we went ahead and looked into it and had it hooked up. We have internet service through them, and we use it just for watching TV and looking stuff up on the phone. We’ve never had any issues with it. Their service is awesome.

    I have had the same account for 23 years and it has been a painful 23 years. One thing about Windstream is that they are very good at charging the customer and not crediting the customer when there are issues. I have been through this many many times and I have had enough. This most recent outage, I ended up emailing the President of Operations over my state and telling him the issues that I was dealing with and the extra costs that I incurred due to this outage. I work from home, so not having internet is an issue and does not allow me to work. He told me someone would be in touch. I spoke with a woman from the Executive Complaints department that assured me everything would be fixed and resolved quickly and if I had any issues to contact her and she would take care of it. Well, she wouldn't ever take my calls after that one conversation and wouldn't return any messages.

    I also had a woman at the 800 number tell me that the credit was applied to my next bill, but I've gotten 2 bills since then and no, it has not been applied. Every person that I spoke with on the phone or dealt with in person told me a different story, which is why I only communicate with the field manager through text now, so I can have documentation. A month after contacting the President of Operations, I contacted him again and let him know that I was still having issues with the internet, I have incurred additional expenses, the woman with the Executive Complaints department will not answer any calls and I need someone that can help me. I received a response saying he will share it with his team and that's it, never heard anything back.

    A person that is in a leadership role that does not care about customers is showing his team to behave the same way. Seeing that a customer has reached out to you a month later with the same issues, that should be a concern, but it wasn't. I have never heard from him again and he has never reached out to see if everything was resolved. Here we are a couple of months later and the most recent text that I received from the manager in the field on 7/25 said he will give me a credit once he sees if the internet is going to work.

    If you're not sure if you fixed it correctly all of the times that you told me it was fixed, why are you even charging me? I know what's happening, they are waiting it out like all of the other times and hoping that I forget about it. I suggest for the people that aren't sure where to turn, familiarize yourself with the FCC and FTC and which deceptive practices each of them handle and go that route. That is what I am having to do. I have a lot of documentation of the deceptive practices of Windstream and I'm going other routes to get all of this resolved. If you have the ability to go with another company, I would suggest you do.

    I have service and I was hooking up service in my name for my daughter and was promised to get a $100 Mastercard for recommending her. It's been over a month and I didn't receive it. And I called customer service and they said they don't see any place where I should be getting a card. So I was outright lied to very disappointed.

    Throughout these years, my experience with Kinetic has been consistently pleasant. I'm happy with the service they provide.

    Even though I've been a customer for so long, I haven't had any issues requiring direct interaction with their customer service team; they seem to run things smoothly. This service supports all my internet needs, from gaming and streaming to working from home, without any interruptions or drops in service.
