CNET's pick for the best internet provider in Louisville, Kentucky, is AT&T Fiber. It's not hard to see why. It offers the fastest average speeds in the Louisville area and it can go as high as 5 Gig for $245. With its speedy plans, you'll have little trouble doing most things, whether streaming your favorite show on Netflix or working remotely. However, other solid providers exist for those who can't get AT&T Fiber at their home address or area.
According to Ookla, Louisville is 19th among the top 20 US cities regarding median internet download speeds, at just 258Mbps. That's much faster internet than some of the bigger cities such as Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
Louisville has several internet service providers throughout the area, including big names like AT&T, Spectrum (aka Charter Communications) and T-Mobile. Options include fiber, 5G, cable connections and even unlimited data plans.
