Switched internet service providers today and the switch was fast and seamless and I do mean seamless. And the plan hubby put us on saves us 50% off the rate we were paying our previous service provider, and Metronet gives us fiber internet. I am not sure what that means but our son says it is much better than other forms of delivery of internet. Anyway, big shout out to Metronet for such a great iob done so effortlessly. Our technician was the BEST and he so polite and professional. Our service was installed the same day we called and so quickly I couldn't believe it. There was no money up front and we got a very affordable plan. From start to finish sales customer service who took our order and patiently explained and answered my many questions to the wonderful tech who installed-- A+ all the way. read more

Finally had to discontinue service with this company after asking for two years for them to get the massive amount of wires off the ground and out of a stream. Everytime they sent someone, they claimed they needed a bigger truck. When the weather ended up freezing something I was without service for five days. They sent two techs and both could not repair. Again stating they needed a bigger truck. You can't get a truck back to that pole! Cancelled service and somehow Spectrum had the great idea to get to the pole, WITH A LADDER. I guess Metronet techs were unable to figure that out. read more

Never hire this company for your internet needs. They strong arm their way onto people's properties, doing rampant damage with no concern for the owner's belonging. They will lie to you, and tell you anything to get what they want. They have been kicked out of multiple cities for their scammy practices and property damage. Their pricing is also the worst in the industry. They offer low intro pricing, then dramatically raise it year after year until you are paying double what any other company is offering. read more

Unfortunately, I signed a contract for three years with this company. I had so much trouble with the phone system that I signed up with Verizon, well that was $800 for breach on contract. Then, I was running my office off of slow Verizon internet because we found out that Metronet master technician told me that all lines into my building had been cut. So, I was paying for 18 months at $129 per month to use Verizon phone internet (assuming Metronet was fast Internet). I have been in business since 2012 and I have NEVER come across a company that is so crooked. We have more than 12 complaints and they just keep telling me that I have never called in. Thank God this is the last month that these crooks get to syphen money out of my account. Good riddance! read more

The only reason I give MetroNet one star is because the internet runs well. Their customer service, however, is terrible. My line runs through several neighbors' yards. While they buried the line in my yard, they left it on the ground in my neighbors' yards...for years. I have been trying for five months to get them to bury the line. They scheduled an appointment with me today and never showed. My neighbor's new line has been laying in his yard for months. This is, quite simply, the worst customer service you could imagine. read more

When Metronet works, it's awesome. Constantly freezes up and trying to get in touch with their technical support is next to impossible. It is an expensive service with POOR customer service! read more

Would give zero if I could. I've been in my house one month and my internet has been disrupted now three times. Last time it was because another tech on another service call disconnected my line. Three days later which is today 7/17 and the same thing happens. And no one can get here until tomorrow. Definitely switching, don't waste your money. read more

Honestly metronet is pretty good with internet but the past week our internet isn't working and we have called metronet many times and been on holf for over 20 minuetes each time and they don't know how to pick up the phone, and honestly its pretty pricy :/ read more

MetroNet deserves zero stars for their service. Today, Saturday, 10/5/2024, they came out to my neighbor's house around 1 PM to hook up their internet and, in the process, managed to disconnect mine. Instead of fixing their mistake immediately, their customer service tells me I have to wait until Wednesday for it to be resolved. Four days without internet due to their incompetence, and no urgency on their part to fix what they broke. Unacceptable service, poor communication, and zero accountability--MetroNet has shown that they do not care about their customers. Avoid them at all costs. read more

Place is a joke anymore. Just as bad as Spectrum use to be. Our wifi has been out 24 hours. Couldn't fix anything with their "magical" resets. Set up a appointment for 2 days out only for it to be canceled be them this morning. I have no been on hold for almost 2 damn hours. This place is absolutely pathetic!! 0 stars!! read more

Metronets install crew are terrible. They have left this duly truck parked like this for about 2 weeks. There are many children who play in this area so they really need to move it read more

Metronet - Parked for over two weeks not sure if broke down or why it has been left? - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

There should be zero stars for this company. I had service for around 1 year. It was spotty the entire time, I am guessing from bad installation. I paid my bill for service for July 2-Aug 1 2024 on July 1. On July 2, I had no internet service and they could not figure out why. They did not have a tech available for 4-5 days, and I require internet for work. I immediately cancelled the service and got t-mobile. As it turns out, there was a storm that had ripped the cable from the pole at the street which was the reason for no service. I returned the equipment. Now they are billing me for service up to the date I returned the equipment (8/6/2024) when in fact they owe me one month of service I did not receive. I have spent hours on the phone calling trying to get this resolved and they refuse. Do not do business with this company. read more

We have fiber internet with Metronet. We pay about 80-90/month. Internet speed is fast. Whenever we have a problem, tech support has been excellent with fast turnaround (as far as sending tech support to fix the problem). Having worked with a few other internet companies in the past, Metronet has been the best by far. read more

Metronet - Dump truck severed fiber internet cable . - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

12/19/22. The Metronet company is like watching an old "Three Stooge's" movie!!! Since June 2022, when me fiber cable was laid across my yard, Larry, Curly and Mo have showed up at my yard from time to time. So far now on FOUR occasions, they dug lines about 3"-4" to bury the original lines. It looked like I had moles in my yard (not even close to a straight line). The last lie, was they said they were going to bore through my driveway and my neighbors driveways, because my fiber line is illegally running unexposed through my water culvert (not contained in a water protected conduit). The same as my neighbor. read more

This will be the absolute worst customer service you have ever experience. Their technician cut our line while burying our neighbor Line. I called within hours to report And was told they would send someone the next day between 8 am and 10 am. Never did they say they needed us to give them permission to enter our backyard where the issue was, as they sure did not need permission the day before when they cut it. I got up at 5:35 am and was aitting by the front door. They claim they knocked on the door, but there is no way. So you guessed it, they left. We then were on the phone with them for over an hour just to be told it would now be from 3-5 pm before they could come back. This was NOT our fault in any way, they cut our line while in our backyard without our permission as they claim they must have, and now we have to sit around all day trying to get their mistake fixed. Do yourself a favor and look at their piss poor reviews and go with another carrier! read more

I have had MetroNet for 2 years. I reached that magical time at the end of the promotion period where my rate more than doubles. It's sad because I really had five star service and reliability BUT in the current economy, that kind of increase is not affordable for me. I switched to Kinetic. It has taken me HOURS of being on hold with MetroNet to try to cancel service. I must return the equipment via UPS first AFTER talking to the "Loyalty" dept who is supposed to try to save the account. Why didn't they try to save it before the rate increase? Were they hoping I would just be ok with it? I finally got through to them today and they said, "well, we are having trouble with the QR codes for equipment returns, so just take your stuff to UPS and give them your account number. They will ship it and give you a confirmation number. Then you can call us back with that number to cancel." Really? More time on hold and they had no interest in trying to "save" my account. Very sad. I really liked their product. read more

Wasted many hours of my time. Never got the 500mbps speed I was paying for (usually around 300mbps), eventually tech support told me after hours on a phone call that because I had a Mac, I need to get an Ethernet jack and cable, and connect directly to an Ethernet port to get the speed I was paying for. I had spectrum before and after the 3 months I made the mistake of signing up with spectrum, and had previously and have currently OVER 400 mbps speed on Wi-Fi (no Ethernet cable required), though only paying for 400mbps. Also with the student discount, I paid $120 (deposit plus first month), and after a week of use, I was sent another $60 bill. They told me I had to pay a deposit with a student account, and a month in advance. When I returned my equipment 3 months later, they tried to rip me off and give me zero refund. After wasting more of my time, they said they give the remaining month pro-rated, but no deposit because I didn't make one. So my only option is to return with proof of purchase, because they are crooks and have no respect for anyone else's time. Also, despite their masks required sign on the front door, ZERO of their Caucasian male employees are wearing masks today. read more

Moved to Richmond, the apt complex we live in pays for our internet service!! The router and modem do not work!! The apt complex calls them to hear it's working fine !! The fucking modem and router won't light up !! Metronet has you call them only to be put on hold to get transferred to 3-4 different departments only to be on hold 12-15 mins per transfer!! Then to be questioned why or how the apt pays the internet service!! Never offer to come up to see or offer a fix!! Worst fucking company in Lexington!! Yes metronet covers Richmond and yes the apt complex has a contract with them!! read more

Very underwhelmed by Metronet's installation crew at my house this morning for the following reasons. 1) Running and burying lines across mine and my neighbors backyards is a huge issue especially considering this was not communicated to me whatsoever when I called and asked for the service. People freak out when you don't communicate things - especially that could lead to domestic disputes between neighbors and property lines etc...No one has the easement agreements on their person, to review right then and there, if this stuff is not communicated in advance. 2)If you're an install contractor, do not show up to my house (as a stranger) needing to wander around my home and use my bathroom not once, but three different times. Plan ahead. If customers don't know you, they don't trust you, period. 3)They arrived at 8:15am, and it is now almost 12pm. In no way, shape or form should this be a 4 hour ordeal. If a customer books early in the morning, that's a strong indication they want to move on to the rest of their day with other things in their schedule. 4)Do not bring in an apprentice to attempt assisting with the installation (and messing up over and over again - dragging out the timeline) on the customer's time. Do this on your time, at your shop. 5)A customer should not have to vacuum, mop, and cleanup mud, leaves and other debris from the contractor's activity inside and outside the home. Use the booty covers and make adjustments, period. read more

Service works fine, just like any other service work when it's running properly. If an animal or construction or something damages the cable though, you're down for at least five days, so good luck if you work from home or want internet for the week. A couple days I could accept, but to seem to tend more to 5 day waits...it's really long. And the problem is the installation isn't always good quality, I've had people come out and properly bury it deeply, but I've also had super sloppy and shallow jobs not even six inches deep. And of course that ended up quickly broken by an animal that was burrowing and then it's the waiting game for service again. read more

I have a business account and was only offered a 3 year contract. I tried moving the service to a new office location and they do not service the new area and will not let me out of the contract. I have completed 16 months of a 36 month contract. I am a small business, literally just me and an office. I called to see what my options are and they told me I would have to pay out the rest of my contract regardless. I have been a residential customer for several years and they will not work with me at all. I would never recommend a small buisness use them. After you sign the contract they are not helpful at all and there are service disruptions all the time. read more

Metronet had a special of 39.99 monthly in August 2024. Sounded good so I called them. After talking to the agent, the cost somehow rose to 53.99 monthly. Then, agent started talking installation fee of 75.00. Service only lasts for one year so that comes out to another 6.25 monthly. So my math says the 39.99 turned to 60.24 monthly for the first year. I wonder how much more the price rises after the year is up? Too expensive for me so Slick just lost a customer. read more

Canceled services because it got too expensive for me after promotional period ended. I'm being charged for a wireless router that we never used. When i told the guy on the phone that I've always had my own wireless router he said if I don't find it, I will be charged $150. I was never charged a monthly fee for using their router or anything, because I didn't have it. Total BS and I will be asking all of my friends to not use metronet and to switch to Spectrum. read more

Called to cancle spectrum I called Metronet the same day they were there the next morning at 8am to install. Great job & on time. I got twice the speed for 20 less than spectrum and full home Wi-Fi :) read more

We had been on a contract steady rate for two years for just internet. Then it jumped up to $82. We called in to cancel, and they said they would as soon as we turned in the equipment. The next month comes around, and we see a pending charge on our account. I talk on chat with Customer Service and even though we sent in our router they didn't cancel our service. I point out that we sent in the router. They say yes they received the router but there was still an outstanding piece of equipment. What is that? Well the EERO wifi that we never had because I own my own wifi router that is not an EERO. I demanded they close my account, remove this equipment that I don't have, and cancel the charge. And they put the charge through anyway. Awful, awful, awful. UPDATE: If you cancel your service, they will still bill you for two months after your service was cancelled, and if you have your own Wi-Fi router, they will try to bill you for that as well. We called to have our service cancelled and were told that as soon as the fiber modem was turned in it would be shut off. It wasn't. So we were charged for two months of service we couldn't have used anyway because our equipment was already turned in at a whopping $165 total. Oh, and when we asked for a refund? They issued us a refund alright. For a whopping $14.52. A refund for one month of Wi-Fi rental that we never had, and that's it. And from a sweet 76 year old widow, and her disabled, chronically ill daughter (me) on a very small fixed income. Anyone thinking about joining, don't. We were treated better at Spectrum, which is frankly saying a lot. read more

This is where you turn in equipment when you cancel service. Price of tv went up significantly and I was on the minimal tv package. Tv and internet had intermittent outages, tv would stop and everything had to be restarted. Installer ran cable over my brick flower bed and no one came to fix this. And when they buried a new line the contractors cut the other lines. read more

UPDATE: 8 weeks later and I am still waiting on my $40 credit to be mailed back to me. Back in May I spoke to a manager, as they were trying to only give me $25 back because they had the wrong date as the date I stopped service. The manager updated my credits and told me I should receive them within 1 month. I called back a month later and talked to a guy with a smartass attitude about the credits. He stated he put them through again and I should receive them in 3 weeks. Guess who had to call back today and speak to them again? I'm sure you got the answer correct, ME. This time I was assured yet again that they were put in the system correctly and would be mailed out tomorrow. I just asked her what date I need to call them back on because I know I won't receive it. Every time I think this company has blown me away with bad service, they have a "hold my beer" moment and show me what they are really made of, a giant pile of bullshit. read more

Sales manager Travis came to my door, spoke loudly and would not allow a word to be spoken other than his. He proceeded to call his supervisor Robert Bartley in hopes of convincing me to buy the services. Both were very loud and rude. I agreed, so they would simply leave my house. I then canceled. Stay away. read more

Swapped to Metronet after a dismal experience with another provider. I was starting to switch to work from home and the previous provider gave me service that dropped out several times a day. I have to say that the installation was almost instantaneous - the installer was here within two hours. He was extremely nice and professional. The service has been stellar. My speeds compare to working in office, and I've had no problems with any of my programs working through a VPN. For me and my work situation, they have been worth the money. read more

When the service works, it is great. If the service goes down, then it is about 5 days to get the service back up. Installation team is very sloppy. I have had 5 calls in to fix cabling. One person ran cable, then it fell to the ground. Next person came to fix that, and pull it down over my window. Next person came out and said that was not an issue, to call back later if I wanted it fixed. Next person came and tucked it under the flashing of the roof. That fell out and then the next person stapled it to the gutter. Service is out again and told no one would fix until Tuesday (5 days from when it went out) and I should be lucky to get it then as they are so back logged. So I switched services and got same day service. I called to cancel, the lady I talked to was like okay, you cant cancel over the phone you got to do this in the local office when you return the equipment. So if you go with Metro Net, be prepared to have long service times, and if you need to cancel, be ready to take some time off work to get this done. read more

Storm knocked down our line, and it's hanging from the house and laying on the ground. Metronet said they would be able to come in 2 to 3 days. Are you kidding me? There's a down line that is actively pulling further away from the house causing property damage. Obviously the longer it goes uncorrected the more it will pull and eventually fall/disconnect completely. It is completely unacceptable to not have emergency trucks/workers for these types of issues. Also, the last time the internet went out, they said it would be OVER A WEEK before they could come fix it. They do not care about correcting your issues if you are a current customer, but should you call as a new customer, someone can be out the next day to set up you. read more

I switched to Metronet several months ago. Installation was difficult. An inexperienced installer came out. Cut my cable internet inside the house and then couldn't get new service going. So I was without connection over a weekend. Supervisor and his boss came over. Finally got it going. Fast when it works. Doesn't always work. Had I not known that I'd be selling my house soon I would've discontinued. At least it saved me $20 a month for the spotty service. Oh yeah. Also you can't end your service agreement online or via phone. You have to visit the office in person. SMH read more

I use Metronet for internet only. Their DVR doesn't hold enough hours. They showed up on time for the install. He had to run the fiber optic cable all the way around the culdasac to my house. Then around the house to the back yard. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He told me they'd be out in about a week to bury the cable. Unfortunately it was closer to a month. I ended up calling them twice about it. Customer service was prompt and polite. Had no problem getting through to them. I have had the 200GB service for three months. I've had no problems with it. Even at "peak times" it's at 200GB because of the fiber optics. Never going back to my previous provider, Spectrum. Metronet is so much better on all fronts. read more

I too was annoyed when METRONET installed wires in my neighborhood. They left the gate to my backyard open and my dog got out. However, our service has been excellent. We haven't had the constant outages we had with Spectrum and we are paying a lot less! With Spectrum we never were able to get WIFI on all three levels of our house, but with Metronet we get great WIFI throughout. read more

At the beginning they'll give you the best internet ever for the lowest price, after a year they tripled your bill and lower the internet speed, I actually pay $83.00 for simple internet that crashes all day, customer service it's garbage, I can't cancel this crap because nobody answers o transfer you several times to the wrong place! Do not hire their services! read more

So disappointed. Clearly all their consumer facing people are well trained, respectful, and know what to say. However, getting the line repaired (due to a faulty initial installation) and especially getting it buried properly has been a nightmare. The wrong people have come out, I left VERY clear verbal and written instructions AND, painted the ground as to where the line needed to be buried to work around some construction issues and all of that was totally ignored. I've had to delay my construction and now they are ghosting me. It's been a nightmare. read more

I bought MetroNet a little more than one month ago under my name; however, somehow it ended up in my girlfriends name. So, I paid my bill early not knowing that I was paying to a now inactive account for the same address. Needless to say, my internet got shut off. I called and they figured out the issue saying that they will have it fixed but they did not. I've tried 4 times and have now cancelled it altogether. I personally highly recommend NOT going through this company. read more

2 years now...I scratch my head at the negative reviews because this has not been my experience. We just have their internet...nothing else..and it's pretty flawless with rarely ever an issue...I think it went out once for maybe 3/4 hours in 2 years. any other time it briefly goes up for like 5 min's or something usually if the router is updating it's firmware or something...2 years and still LOVE it!! read more

After switching from Spectrum I've experienced significantly faster and more stable connection through Metronet's fiber connection. I've used Metronet for over a year now and have only experienced two outages, which were neighborhood-wide and swiftly taken care of. Customer service is good and who doesn't love playing Xbox with 8 ping and 150mbps. read more

Representative had come to my house yesterday and I have to write that he was very courteous and open about the pricing and information of this new "internet" provider in Lexington, KY. The big hype about this business was due to a monopoly, or what seemed like one, from Spectrum on internet and cable. For me personally, I want internet (see what I did there...it's a want NOT a need); however, at a cheap price (doesn't everyone?). In a span of like 5 minutes, I was told of most figures. Supposedly, there are no hidden costs nor fees. Highlights: Have your own bandwidth 1gb because it is linked to your own house-fiber optic Increases property value by 3% $25 waived installation fee IF you give them your checking account Downsides $63 for 1 GB for 6 months (then it probably goes up to a price one probably would not want to ask about) Can get it at $63 price IF you call them to lower speeds I do not know about you; however, if you have to call to get better pricing and you have to give a business your checking account, it is a BAD investment. One is because they can keep drawing funds (of course you could close the account), then you face collections and all that BS because you are not supposedly "paying" then what you owe and 2.) if you have to call them, it does not mean they will change it (tons of things have gone wrong with people and internet providers who they call to get things changed and it never happens until class action lawsuits ensue). I was looking for something near cost of living. Maybe like $50 for internet? Psh..probably not going to happen. I guess I will stay with Spectrum, unfortunately. Their Time Warner customer deal gives me internet for $65/ month, still HIGHLY crappy quality for what I pay; however, I know it is probably the lowest I will ever get in Lexington! read more
