What Kinetic offers in Lexington
Fiber or DSL: two Kinetic networks in town
Kinetic reports 6,428 locations in Lexington. Only 2,408 of them have Kinetic fiber, and the other 4,020 have Kinetic's DSL service over copper alone. On the FCC's separate count of homes, Kinetic reports service at 76.7% of the town.
The county looks much the same. Kinetic reports fiber at 11,546 of its 33,490 Lexington County locations, about one in three.
What Kinetic markets, and what it filed
Kinetic's Lexington page markets up to five plans, from 100 Mbps to 2 Gig. The FCC filing splits the town's fiber between two ceilings: 1,000/1,000 Mbps at 1,456 locations and 2,000/2,000 Mbps at 952. So the 2 Gig ceiling was filed at about two in five of Kinetic's fiber locations in town.
Kinetic Connection Center
The same page names a Kinetic Connection Center for Lexington, with weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kinetic says its centers help customers by phone, email, social media or a virtual consultation by appointment, and the page lists no street address. Of the eight South Carolina town pages we checked, it is the only one that names a center.
No other South Carolina town in our Kinetic guides has more Kinetic DSL-only locations than fiber ones. Kinetic Fiber across South Carolina sets Lexington beside them, and Kinetic's footprint across its states reaches past the state.
