"Worst possible billing department. It's a wonder they can function at all with so many departments that don't speak to each other."

March 30, 2013Okay but pricey
"Their basic "hi speed" internet is about $30 a month and is Okay at best, it feels like dial-up speeds, cuts out constantly, and if you occasionally want to check FB and want to watch nextflix on the lowest quality then this would be your choice, but if you use the internet for things like online gaming, watching hi-res videos (netflix, youtube HD), etc. your only choice is to upgrade to their $60 plan which is pretty fast and reliable, but i would look to cable companies like charter to get better pricing and speeds. These are my personal opinions and encounters, others may have different standpoints on the service."

March 12, 2013Ridiculously good.
"A great price for fantastic speeds. More bandwidth than we could ever use and we're very heavy users with online FPS-heavy gaming, 2 devices streaming video and frequent downloading (often all simultaneously), we've never had a problem. No issues with billing, but we have their electric as well and have had to deal with customer service on that account and have been satisfied. Getting connected is super-easy and free as long as you keep the service for a year. We LOVE EPB!"

March 05, 2013I got their internet a while back
"I have had their internet for a while. Jumped for it when I found out they first released it in my town. Hooked right up. A few hickups here and there but reliable internet. Their service tends to not work well with youtube as I can tell. I currently have their 12mb upgraded from 6mb. They have great deals. Upload is very poor for the download speed."

"Insight is the devil. They have a monopoly in Louisville, KY and abuse it to the fullest. The speeds are unreliable at best (I've hardly had a connection for the past 12 hours) and prices outrageous. Louisville deserves options!"
