Internet Providers in Lexington, Kentucky

Horses aren’t the only things running races in Lexington. When it comes to availability, three ISPs — Spectrum, Windstream, and Metronet — provide substantial wired internet coverage throughout Lexington. Windstream technically offers more availability in Lexington when you combine its DSL and fiber internet services; however, Spectrum truly offers more widespread access to quick speeds, reaching 94.1% of Lexington. That said, Windstream has 26.6% fiber internet coverage and Metronet 88.9% coverage across Lexington — plus, both deliver extensive internet coverage to the city.

Whether you live near the Kentucky Horse Park beside Georgetown, in South Lexington under the Beltline, or right in the middle of downtown Lexington around Kroger Field, you can get access to Spectrum. Spectrum’s cable internet services make them easily accessible and widespread — even in an area such as Lexington, with so many natural geographical features.

However, Spectrum is spread somewhat thin in Lexington in some regions. If you live between Versailles and Midway west of Lexington, or you find yourself looking for internet along northwestern Route 68, you may not have access to Spectrum.

When it comes to fiber internet in Lexington, you can choose between Windstream and Metronet. Windstream offers fiber internet in many areas of North Lexington, extending all the way to Alltech Arena. It also has extensive, but spotty, coverage throughout Central Lexington, with its best coverage areas through Liberty Heights. That said, you won’t find Windstream’s fiber internet services near Bryan Station or in Northwest Lexington.

On the other hand, Metronet offers blanket coverage across Central Lexington, with its fiber internet network extending from south of I-64 beyond Man O’War Boulevard. From the Waveland State Historic Site to the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, Metronet’s coverage inside the city limits surpasses Windstream, especially since it doesn’t have the same amount of coverage gaps. However, you won’t find Metronet north of I-64 or in communities near Route 68.
