As someone who used to work in the business and may soon be going back, Iowa has the second slowest average download internet speeds in the U.S. Only Alaska is worse.No, in most places it's not. They like to make it sound like we have no decent internet speeds. I'm from a small rural community on the western side of the state. In town and in the country, we have had fiber for 5 or 6 years now. Works great
