SUGAR LAND, Texas, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kinetic, the insurgent leader in residential and business fiber internet, proudly announced today that technology and consumer electronics website CNET<\/strong> named it a 2026 Best Internet Service Provider (ISP)<\/a>, specifically lauding it for \u201cMost Transparent Pricing.\u201d<\/p>\n

CNET recognized Kinetic for being the only ISP\u2014among the 31 evaluated\u2014to score 10\/10 for fiber internet price transparency. Kinetic was a standout due to its clear layout of pricing on its most important plans, requiring minimal effort to find the information.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing recognized by CNET for the industry\u2019s most transparent pricing is an honor and a reflection of Kinetic\u2019s commitment to delivering a better internet experience,\u201d said Brittany Lockhart, Kinetic\u2019s director of Pricing. \u201cCustomers deserve fast, reliable fiber internet paired with straightforward pricing they can easily understand. That transparency helps people make informed decisions, manage their budgets with confidence, and choose the provider that best fits their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kinetic was also highlighted for its fast, symmetrical internet speeds and for the accessibility of its broadband facts labels, going above and beyond the bare minimum FCC regulations. This earned the company the only bonus score on CNET\u2019s price transparency test.<\/p>\n
