Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has many choices at hand with 24 internet providers serving its residential and business quarters, via multiple broadband network types such as fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless, and satellite.
However, Mediacom Cedar Rapids, IA, wins in terms of popularity stakes for more than one reason. The provider is one of the few cable internet providers in the city, and the only one that carries a nationwide footprint. Mediacom network in Cedar Rapids covers around 99% of the population making it easy to access services across the city’s many neighborhoods. And Mediacom’s cable bundles are popular for great quality and value.
Here it is worth mentioning, in the Cedar Rapids market Mediacom primarily competes with CenturyLink―it is one of the few other nationwide providers among a host of local and regional ones that deliver wired services. Some of these smaller providers do deliver cable services, but network coverage is not as widespread as Mediacom’s.

As for CenturyLink, it delivers high-speed DSL and Fiber, and its network covers about 95% of the city―this means in most parts of the city Mediacom competes with CenturyLink. However the two internet service providers deliver different types of internet. And at the end of the day it depends on which kind of service is a better fit for your needs. Also, CenturyLink does not do TV bundles, which gives Mediacom an edge and makes it the top choice for homes where cable TV still reigns the in-home entertainment scene.
Read on to learn about internet, TV, and phone offerings from Mediacom in Cedar Rapids, IA―so you can compare and choose better for your home.
The first to introduce a fiber-optic backbone to work together with its pre-existing coaxial cable lines, Mediacom has since delivered fiber-powered cable internet, a hybrid of both technologies, to subscriber’s homes across its nationwide footprint. Consequently, customers in its service locations are able to experience fiber-level speeds with increased reliability as opposed to traditional cable internet.
This year Mediacom set off to further advance its infrastructure by shifting to the 10G platform and adopting DOCSIS 4.0 tech―this upgrade will enable the Mediacom network to support higher bandwidth, faster data transfer, symmetrical speeds, lower latency and exceptional reliability. Cedar Rapids may not yet be able to enjoy the fruits of this upgrade, but as Mediacom continues the process, the city may soon get the taste of future-proof connectivity.

Other speed tiers offer 100 Mbps and 300 Mbps for downloads―ideal for small and mid-sized families.
Mediacom is one of the few cable providers that offer up to 50 Mbps for uploads with its Gig plan as opposed to the regular 35 Mbps we see in the industry. Even its starter plan delivers 10 Mbps for uploads. This feature gives the service an edge when it comes to internet needs that require good upload power.

Mediacom Internet plans do have a contract, of varying lengths, and there is a price hike after the promotional period ends, but this is a common practice in the industry.

As we said earlier, although the city has a number of providers serving it, Mediacom primarily competes with another national brand, CenturyLink―the overlap in footprint spreads across many a neighborhood, so it’s a choice many have to make. Other wired options include a few local and regional DSL, cable and fiber internet providers, that provide limited network coverage to parts of the city.
Cedar Rapids also has access to a number of wireless internet services, satellite and 5G home, however where wired connectivity is available, it becomes a secondary option, given limitations of speed, data and pricing.
So, if you are planning to move to Cedar Rapids for its dense suburban appeal and its rather conservative lean, take a look at the table below. You’ll get a good idea of the coverage span of the more prominent providers in the city, and you’ll also be able to glance at connection types and speeds delivered by each.
| Provider | Connection Type | Max Download Speed | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xtream Powered by Mediacom | Cable | 1000 Mbps | 98.8% |
