Cedar Falls Utilities

Cedar Falls Utilities has been a leader among municipal utilities in the development of broadband, recently completing its first fiber-to-the-premise installation in 2006. It provides high-speed Internet service to its customers for $40 a month, maintains lower prices than surrounding utilities, and generated $1.4 million for Cedar Falls' general fund in 2006. By the end of 2003, the number of high-speed Internet customers had reached 75% of the number of basic cable subscribers, enabling the utility to begin to retire debt taken on for the project ahead of schedule.
