MetroNet Internet 2022 Updates, Plans and Services Offered

MetroNet Internet is a unique breed of internet service provider providing fast internet fiber connections at a reasonable price. We don’t use data limits, which is a big victory for streamers and power users, but we don’t do anything to care for the casual customer, either.

MetroNet Internet

MetroNet is a local fiber internet service provider that provides its services to the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, with the highest Indiana coverage.

As a local provider, their service area is limited but they are one of the best locally accessible ISPs. And they are among only a few that provide true FITH (fiber-to-home) service instead of relying on coaxial hybrid solutions.

  • Limited TV bundles, especially for sports
  • Mandatory “Technology Fee” on all plans

MetroNet offers four internet service packages, based on the speeds you get in each, and seems to be the only provider that offers the same download and upload speeds. The packages available are also heavily dependent on your address in the supported areas.
