Midco holds the cable franchise in Lawrence and nowhere else in Kansas. It bought the system from WOW! in January 2017, and before that it had been Knology and before that Sunflower Broadband, a locally owned operator dating to 1970. Four owners in fifteen years is worth knowing when you go looking for old paperwork.

Where Midco is strong

Broad coverage inside its franchise area, so something can usually be installed quickly
Sells dedicated fiber internet with an SLA alongside the shared cable tiers
Regional rather than national, which shows up in how quickly a decision gets made
Has invested in the Lawrence plant since taking it over from WOW! in January 2017

Midco in Kansas specifically

Lawrence. This is a single market answer in Kansas, not a regional one.
Broad coverage on cable plant inside the franchise area, so something can usually be installed quickly.
Sells dedicated fiber internet with an SLA alongside the shared cable tiers. They are not the same product.
Older records and circuit paperwork may say Sunflower Broadband, Knology or WOW!. All of it is Midco now.
For a Lawrence business this is the main alternative to AT&T, which makes checking both worth more here than in a three carrier market.

Best fit. Lawrence businesses that want an alternative to the incumbent telco.

What to watch for before you sign

Cable and fiber are different products under one brand. The cable tiers are shared and asymmetrical.
The franchise map is the footprint. In Kansas that is Lawrence, not the state.
The Lawrence system has changed hands four times. Older records may say Sunflower Broadband, Knology or WOW!.

Midco in Kansas: common questions

Is Midco available at my Kansas 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 Midco directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.

Is Midco the cheapest option in Kansas?

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 Midco 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.
