Main cable package after price increases to take effect in May:

*Iowa City from $47.95 to $51.95/month

*Cedar Rapids from $49.95/month to $51.95/month and in Dubuque:

$54.55/month

I haven't seen anything for Des Moines, but it's coming and you can thank $inclair for the ungodly high cable rates.

Edit: Rates are going up in DSM, from $47.95 to $51.95

It's Mediacom... Doesn't surprise me a bit... When I thought about what provider I was going to get after I got married, there was Mediacom or Dish that provided locals. The choice was obvious... Mediacom couldn't pay ME for their horrid service. Sometimes (Quite often lately from talk at work), cable will be out for whole days at a time, for no apparant reason. ...which would also be why I went with Verizon for phone and internet. Mediacom is a nightmare.
