This high-demand service is supported by federal and state funding, as well as local funding passed by voters in a 2022 GO BOND referendum supporting the project’s deployment.

What Is 100%
Fiber-optic Internet?

Visit FAQ's
Fiber optics are flexible strands of glass encased in protective coatings that transmit light signals to carry data. This results in faster, more reliable service than traditional copper transmission lines. Most internet service providers use copper lines for the final connections to customers, resulting in slower speeds. Waterloo Fiber’s fiber-optic internet is 100% fiber and less susceptible to interference and damage from lightning and other acts of nature.

“We would like to thank your entire staff for making this transition seamless and pleasant for our entire family. We don’t have any dead areas in the house at all and the speed of the system is fantastic.”

Your crews have done great work! Our kiddo loved watching them work out of the window and they were wonderful with waving back to him when he’d try to chat about their work when we’d drive by. Can’t wait for Water Fiber service!

I had a great experience with the drop and the installation. The crew that trenched the drop to my house was accommodating to my request to verify the location of my irrigation system as I didn’t have it marked. They made sure it still worked when they were finished.

The install was fantastic. Armando was courteous, respectful, and willing to let me ask questions and help figure out how to get the cable to the exact spot I wanted. It worked out perfectly. He was efficient, fast, and knowledgeable. If his install time was long, it was because I asked a LOT of questions and I talked to him a lot. He was gracious to answer and it was an enjoyable and personable conversation. Thanks for making the switch to Waterloo Fiber easy!

The Internet has worked in every room of the house without the buffering that we have often had with other service providers. I am happy that we made the switch.”

"We just wanted to say what a wonderful job those people did out here with putting that cable through. They fixed everything up so you could hardly tell where they dug and fixed it up, so I just wanted to give them an applause for that. It's just a wonderful job they did, thank you very much!"

Broadband "Nutrition" Labels

Shopping for internet service has traditionally felt like navigating a maze blindfolded. Providers advertise blazing speeds and competitive prices, but the fine print often reveals a different story: hidden fees, speed throttling, data caps, and promotional rates that expire faster than you can say "buffering." For years, consumers have struggled to compare plans and understand what they're actually paying for.
