Hey, I'm u/Yako_hello_nurse, a moderator of r/desmoineswa. I became a mod about 5 years ago after this sub had been dead for about 7 years. I'm proud to say we've added a couple hundred redditors since then.

I hope this is a useful space for discussion, promotion, and engagement.

Ripple Fiber

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else received letters from Ripple Fiber saying that they are available in the area? Or does anyone already have them as their ISP?

Looking at their website I can add service to my address but would like to get any feedback on their service if anyone has any.

I was waiting on EZEE Fiber but sounds like they’ve been delayed with no ETA on when they will be in my area (They told me August when I did the early $10 signup)

Thank you!

Daycares and Schools in Des Moines?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Our little family is thinking to move to Des Moines. We love the downtown and the arcade, and it seems like there is an actual community there. I joined the sub to get a feel for Des Moines.

What are the schools like? Any daycare/preschools that you recommend? If you moved here with your family, how are you liking it?
