Internet Service Providers in Iowa
Iowa Internet Coverage & Availability in 2024
Iowa Internet Facts in 2024
-
Iowa currently ranks 25th among states in BroadbandNow’s annual rankings of internet coverage, speed and availability.
-
This means that roughly one in ten Iowa residents are not able to purchase an internet plan of at least 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload.
-
This means that nearly seven in ten residents are not able to purchase broadband at a price of $60/month or less (excluding promotions and government programs).
-
This means that five in ten residents are unable to purchase a fiber internet plan.
-
The U.S. has more than 2,934 internet service providers, with most covering very small areas. It is worth searching by zip code to see who is available in your town.
At BroadbandNow, we advocate for a definition of broadband internet to be at least 100Mbps, as opposed to the FCC definition of 25Mbps, which would be considered slow for many internet-intensive activities.
Internet Availability by County
In Iowa, 80.8% of people have access to 1G broadband, ranking 14th among all states.
