Best Internet Providers in Columbus

Shopping for internet can often feel overwhelming with the myriad of options and technical jargon. Luckily, if you're in Columbus, KY, there's a straightforward path to achieving a fast and reliable connection.

The premier choice for top-tier internet is undoubtedly fiber. It offers unparalleled speed and performance, and for Columbus residents, Gibson Connect stands out. With a blistering maximum download speed of 1 Gbps, Gibson Connect delivers the kind of speed that makes lagging and buffering feel like a relic of the past. Although its coverage is currently at 15.5%, it is worth checking if it's available at your address — especially if seamless streaming and rapid downloads are what you're after.

For those finding themselves outside the reach of fiber, DSL provides a reliable alternative. Kinetic by Windstream covers 86.4% of Columbus with a maximum download speed of 50 Mbps. While it doesn't match the blistering velocities of fiber, DSL is a solid choice that balances performance and connectivity, meeting most internet needs efficiently.
