Why choose Kinetic
Kinetic is a fiber and DSL internet provider with streaming and home phone options available. It’s available in areas across 18 states, providing the most coverage in the Southern U.S.
If Kinetic is available to you and you’re choosing between its services, fiber is your best choice. But if you can only get Kinetic DSL, opt for an alternative provider.
Kinetic offers fiber speeds from 300 to 2,000 Mbps starting at less than $50.00/mo. With symmetrical upload and download speeds and affordable prices, you can go wrong with many of Kientic’s fiber plans.
Here are our top Kinetic recs at a glance:
- Light to moderate internet users: Choose Kinetic Fiber 300 Mbps
- Heavy internet users or larger homes with 5+ people: Choose Kinetic Fiber 1 or 2 Gig
Allconnect expert tip
The speed you need depends on the size of your household, number of connected devices and daily internet activities. Most households can get by with 300 to 500 Mbps, but those with 5+ people who participate in heavy activities like gaming should opt for a gig plan or higher. Learn more about the speed you need.

Kinetic internet highlights
Kinetic plans mostly come in two types: Fiber and DSL. Cable plans are also available in small areas. Fiber is considered the best type of internet connection available, providing the fastest speeds and the most reliable connections. DSL, meanwhile, uses your phone line to connect to the internet, and is usually much slower than cable or fiber.
Kinetic has four plans to choose from, starting with its 100 Mbps DSL plan. Its fastest plan offers speeds up to 2,000 Mbps, but availability depends on your location.

Kinetic home phone review
Kientic offers a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service that functions much like a traditional landline service, but it’s delivered using your internet connection instead of phone lines. Each Kinetic Home Phone line comes with Caller ID, Premium Call Forwarding, Voicemail and Spam Call Alert. Customers can also access Kinetic Voice manager, which allows home phone customers to access a web interface, allowing them to manage select calling features.

Digital voice service – This is a more modern approach to landline phone service that provides customers with more features
-
![]()
Bundle discount – Kinetic Home Phone is cheaper when you bundle with Kinetic internet
Things to consider
-
![]()
Internet-dependent – This service uses your internet connection to function, so it won’t work if your connection is down
Tips for Kinetic users
Our experts recommend going with a Kinetic fiber plan if it’s an option for you. It provides reliable speeds and low prices, offering great value for the service. If your only choice is Kinetic DSL, we suggest looking at another provider that offers fiber, cable, 5G or satellite service before going with a DSL plan.
It’s also a great idea to check out any promotions Kinetic may be offering. Oftentimes, new customers can get prepaid cards and price guarantees when they sign up.
Kinetic equipment, data caps and security
All internet providers add extra fees and stipulations to their terms. Fortunately, Kinetic’s fees aren’t very expensive compared to other providers, and you’ll also get some nice perks you don’t usually find elsewhere.
Purchasing: You also have the option of using your own equipment to avoid the fee, but it must be compatible with your Kinetic internet connection. Additionally, using your own equipment may reduce the amount of technical support Kinetic can provide should you have an issue with your connection. However, buying your own equipment could help you save money long-term.

How we scored internet providers
We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.
For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of 1 to 5, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 290 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between 3 and 4. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.
We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.
Kinetic customer reviews
Kinetic scores above average for customer satisfaction, with 3.7/5 from Allconnect customers. The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) rates Kinetic with 71/100 in 2026.

1 year fiber customer and initial service was great. Speed was as advertised. Recently, service keeps getting disconnected. Support calls reconnect service but then it happens again. Was told kinetic was going to a new system and they had to COMPLETELY shut down my service and got put into a queue for a technician visit, one week out. Can’t seem to get any reasoning…
