Mediacom Communications Bringing Multi-Gig and Symmetrical Speed Broadband to Cedar Rapids, Iowa
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2025--
Mediacom Communications today announced the company has begun launching multi-gig and symmetrical speed broadband services in the City of Cedar Rapids.
Utilizing breakthrough technology to enhance the company's fiber-powered network, Mediacom is creating a more responsive end-to-end customer experience that prioritizes faster upload and download speeds, uncompromised network reliability, safe and secure connections, and lower latency.
Mediacom has begun activating the new network on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Residents can track the progress of the project using an interactive mapping tool. Using the new platform, customers will be able to choose the following Xtream Internet offerings from Mediacom:
The scalability of these network improvements will seamlessly allow Mediacom to ramp up from the one and two gigabit offerings of today to speeds of 10 gigabits per second and beyond in the coming years. Since this new technology is delivered using Mediacom's existing fiber-rich network architecture, it will not be necessary to dig up yards to add bulky equipment or bury cables.
Mediacom will be able to enhance the performance of these speeds even further using Advanced WiFi powered by eero 7, a whole-home WiFi solution featuring eero's TrueMesh designed to deliver an exceptional Internet connectivity experience throughout the entire house that now features Wi-Fi 7 capabilities. With the recent launch of Mediacom Mobile, customers can take their Mediacom service on the go while enjoying access to America's most awarded wireless network.
'We are incredibly excited to announce that Cedar Rapids is the latest community served by Mediacom to receive these game-changing technology enhancements,' said Steve Purcell, Group VP of Mediacom's Capital Region. 'We look forward to bringing multi-gig and symmetrical service options to even more Iowa communities in the near future.'
Mediacom will also continue to offer a low-cost broadband plan called Xtream Connect with speeds of 100 Mbps down by 20 Mbps up. Priced at just $14.99 per month plus modem rental, if applicable, Xtream Connect provides qualifying households an affordable pathway to the internet and is available to any household in Mediacom's service territory that participates in the National School Lunch Program, SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or certain other federal programs.
