How to check your address and read the result
- Check the full Keokuk address, because Kinetic's Lee County service is reported outside the city.
- If Kinetic returns nothing, compare ImOn fiber and Mediacom cable at the same address.
- For a rural Lee County home, confirm whether the Kinetic result is fiber or DSL before you switch.
How sure is each claim on this page?
- L1: ZIP estimate. A ZIP code covers many streets. We do not publish ZIP pages.
- L2: FCC-reported (used on this page). Providers report the technology at each location to the FCC National Broadband Map.
- L3: Provider-coverage (used on this page). Kinetic names the place on its own locations page (shown as "Listed by Kinetic").
- L4: Provider-confirmed address. Only the address check reaches this level. It returns the offer for your street address and unit.
- L5: User-confirmed orderable. We never claim this level. You confirm it when you place the order.
