Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Iowa

Indianola Municipal Utilities Fiber
June 25, 2025 Living in a small town means that they provide our internet service. We could use a third-party, but I've heard that nothing compares to our city's service. My favorite thing about the service is that it's bundled with my utilities (electric and water). Less bills for me to pay! I rarely have issues with the internet. It costs a little more than I'd like to spend (~$75/month), but it consistently works well. I mainly use it for light usage, but my husband uses it for gaming and it still works well. I would recommend it to other locals.

November 04, 2026 Install was sloppy, wire hanging inside and outside. My main issue was the price kept increasing. The customer support took over a hour to speak to someone and then another hour of testing before they would isue replacement equipment.
