Des Moines Residential Internet Coverage

One of the largest cities in the Midwest, Des Moines is a huge gathering hub for the businesses, residents, and visitors of Iowa. Consistent internet is a key priority for many of the people who live and work in this bustling metropolis. Cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite options are available.

Centurylink Prism has come out as a major fiber internet provider throughout the Midwest. Several key parts of Des Moines fall within their service area, including most areas north of the McKinley School Neighborhood. Some southern areas are covered, including Bloomfield-Allen and Jordan Park. Service stops short of several centrally located neighborhoods, including East Village and Capitol Park.

DSL provider CenturyLink has a consistent coverage area that reaches all of Des Moines, spreading into bordering cities and suburbs.

Through Windstream, residents on the outer fringes of Des Moines access high-speed internet. Some of the neighborhoods within this service area are the southmost point of Greater South Side, Union Park, Fairmont Park, and Douglas Acres.

Mediacom's service map mirrors that of Centurylink, spanning northern neighborhoods like Meredith and Highland Park. The service map extends beyond southern neighborhoods like Southwestern Hills, South Park, and Magnolia Hills. From west to east, service stretches from Waterbury and Waveland Woods to Gray's Woods and Laurel Hill.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
