    3/12/09 - Still kicking it Iowa Telecom style. No major Internet outages or phone outages. Also have my DISH Network service billed through them so it's nice and convienent to have my Internet, Phone, and Satellite all on one bill. No plans to leave Iowa Telecom anytime soon. I REFUSE to EVER use Mediacom again.

    8/1/08 - Service has been great so far. No major outages and speeds are consistent. Sure it's only 1.5 down but I don't use alot of stuf that needs a super fast connection.

    01/2008 - Easy install. No inside work needed. Tech had to hook wires back up at NID from when I had VoIP through cable. Speeds rock! Only 1.5 down which is fine but faster than what my cable was and upstream is around 768k which is good to have.

    what was your cable speed?

    hello, I was reading your post and was just wondering, what was your cable modem speed because, I have had Iowa telecom and they have to be the worst company ever with slow speeds and bad service. I have the Mediacom 3 Mb package and couldn't be happier.

    Re: what was your cable speed?

    When I left Mediacom I was on the 8mb/512k package. Sure I only get 1.5 down on Iowa Telecom but that's all I need. I've had great service with them.

    Grinnell, IA    		 Must've changed their packages then because, When I was with them $70 a month only got me 768 before that it was 512k
    To each their own.

    Mediacom has vastly improved I am now ready to make jump

    After going to Texas to visit my brother and using my laptop on his verizon cable internet at 11MBS. I now realize that Iowa Telecom simply doesn't have the muscle or system to push out past 900 Kbs...Those of you who THINK you are getting 1.5 are being misled. I dare you to go to SPeedtest.net and check out how fast your connection really is. I have 1.5 service but can only pull down 883. Medicom's actually pulled down 90000 kps with their 8.0 service. With the coming work of streaming video and the death of the local video store Iowa telecom will be way way behind the curve..(if they are still around). I am switching. My next door neighbor has mediacom and has NEVER had problems with service outage. DSL is going to die a slow death. When Alliant starts putting data over power lines iowa telecom with have nothing to offer.

    Speed tests for me consistently pull over 1500 actually. Never had any issues whatsoever. Sure faster speed would be nice but not something I NEED really. And just so ya know they offer a 15mb package. Frew people I know have it and get damn near the full 15mb everytime we run tests.
