Our read of the numbers

What this means for you

  • Fiber is a likely option. Providers report fiber at 100/20 Mbps or faster for 66% of homes in Kentucky. When comparing, ask about upload speeds, which are often higher on fiber plans.

  • Gigabit is widely reported. Gigabit plans (1,000 Mbps download, 100 Mbps upload) are reported for 81% of homes. Compare prices across speed tiers; a slower tier can cost less if your household does not need the top speed.

  • You likely have a real choice. 4 non-satellite providers each reach at least a quarter of homes, so many addresses have a real choice. That matters most when a promotional price ends.
