Central Broadband in Iowa: common questions

Is Central Broadband available at my Iowa address?

Carrier footprints change constantly and no public map is accurate at the building level. We check serviceability directly with each carrier before telling you what you can get. Give us the address and we will confirm with Central Broadband directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.

Is Central Broadband the cheapest option in Iowa?

Sometimes, and it depends almost entirely on whether your building is already on their network. A carrier who is already in the building will normally beat a carrier who has to build, regardless of list pricing.

Can I buy Central Broadband through you at the same price?

Yes. Pricing is the same as going direct. The difference is that you get every other carrier's number at the same time, and you are not managing the process yourself.
