Kinetic by Windstream provider review

Kinetic is the sixth largest DSL provider in the U.S., offering service across rural and suburban communities in 18 states. In select areas, Kinetic also offers fiber optic internet service, which can deliver speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. Kinetic fiber service is primarily available in larger towns and cities.
What we like
Fiber optic service – Where available, Kinetic uses a fiber optic service which can deliver fast download and upload speeds.
No contract – Kinetic internet plans do not require you to sign a contract. You can choose to be billed on a month-to-month basis.
No data caps – Make the most of your internet connection without fear of overage fees or slowed speeds.
Things to consider
Limited fiber availability – Most service areas will have access to a DSL or DSL/fiber hybrid network, which does not have the same speed or reliability as fiber
Average customer satisfaction – The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), gave Kinetic internet a score of 61/100 in 2020, which falls below the average for all providers.
