About Xtel

Xtel was established in 1997 as an internet service provider serving the northern section of the Quad Cities and has since become the sole supplier of internet, cable, and home phone services to the entire Quad Cities area. Xtel provides reliable internet over their own private fiber optics network as well as cable and digital phone services. This ensures high levels of reliability as their network is much less prone to outages, physical damage, and interference than other more widely used forms of internet such as copper or coaxial cable. Moreover, Xtel offers some of the highest speeds available in the Quad Cities area with cable internet packages up to 100Mbs download speeds and 50Mbs upload speeds and fiber optic internet packages up to 400Mbs download speeds and 200Mbs upload speeds. Xtel is also known for their excellent customer service and are very responsive to customer inquiries and outages. They also offer several competitive bundle packages as well as standalone internet, digital phone, and cable TV services with flexible payment options to meet customer needs. In addition to this, Xtel’s coverage area which includes the entire Quad Cities area, as well as parts of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin allows them to offer expansive coverage for their services.

Ask whether equipment rental, installation, or activation costs apply.
Review data limits, contracts, promotional periods, and cancellation terms.
Check support hours and the expected installation or activation timeline.

Before ordering from Xtel

Verify the final order summary before accepting service. Save a copy that lists the plan name, expected speed range, recurring price, promotion length, equipment, one-time charges, and contract terms. If a plan is intended for streaming, remote work, gaming, or several connected devices, compare both speed and network reliability rather than choosing on advertised download speed alone.
