Fastest Internet Speed Iowa: Who Provides It and How to Get It

The average Internet speed Iowa has is around 15 Mbps, according to Akamai’s Q1 2017 stats. That’s below the US national average.

Many people in Iowa pay for broadband Internet, but are not getting a fast enough connection. Top Internet providers in Iowa include CenturyLink (1000 Mbps, DSL, fiber), Verizon (940 Mbps, fiber), Cox (300 Mbps, cable), Windstream (100 Mbps, DSL) and Mediacom (100 Mbps, cable).

The trouble is that often times ISPs are not helpful in finding solutions to issues related to Internet speed in Iowa because they are part of the problem.

Read below to see how to get the best Internet speed Iowa has by combining 2 or more Internet connections together.

When it comes to Internet speed in Iowa, the distribution by connection type is as follows: 90% of people have access to DSL, 84% get satellite, 80% have cable connections and only 30% fiber (source). If you are having slow Internet issues in Iowa, there are three likely causes:

1. Your ISP is throttling your connection
2. You are having router issues
3. Too many of your neighbors have the same ISP and you experience slowing during peak usage hours.

The easiest thing to do is to first test your router to see if that is the source of your problem. But, if the issue is your ISP, your best bet is to use secure a second Internet connection and combine the two connections into a single fast pipe with the Speedify app.

One of the concerns after the net neutrality repeal in mid December 2017 is that ISPs could throttle Internet access for certain services – especially the bandwidth-intensive ones such as live video streaming, online gaming, etc. They could ask for more money from the consumer if they want to access that specific service with full speed.

If there are several high speed Internet service providers in the area you live in Iowa, you will have where to choose from and avoid such issues. Here is an interesting map of the high speed Internet coverage in the United States – where do you stand on that?

Speedify is a next generation mobile VPN service that also works to combine multiple internet connections at the same time to deliver a faster, more reliable, and more secure Internet experience.

Speedify can be downloaded for free on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices. You can use Speedify to combine any types of connections including:

• Combining a DSL and a Cable Internet connection
• Combining two DSL connections
• Combining two cable connections

We’re assuming you have at least 2 Internet connections available: your home Internet, a nearby public WiFi, tethered phone, an additional home Internet connection, etc. Here are some ideas on where to find new Internet connections.

1. Install Speedify on your computer or mobile device. Get it from our website or from the Apple Store / Google Play Store.
2. Make sure you are connected to one of the Internet connections. Most computers only have a single WiFi card and a single Ethernet port. The easiest process is to connect to the first Internet source using your Ethernet port.
3. Connect your computer to the second Internet connection. The easiest process is to connect to the second source using WiFi.
4. Open the Speedify app. Speedify will automatically combine the two different connections into a single fast pipe. You will enjoy a lightning fast Internet experience like you have never seen before.

Because Speedify is also a mobile VPN that doesn’t keep any activity logs, it will keep your data secure from hackers and snoops. Not even your IPS will know what sites you are visiting.

Your fast connection will allow you to easily stream movies and music while also surfing the web. You can say goodbye to buffering and interrupted connections.

Tired of the slow Internet speed you experience in Iowa on DSL, cable, satellite or even fiber? It’s time to get started with Speedify and experience the Internet your way.
