Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in Bakersfield
- 01
Downtown Bakersfield
Historic blocks, the Padre Hotel, and the Beale Memorial Clock Tower anchor the city center. A plug-and-play gateway means no waiting on a truck to get connected in an older building.
- 02
Oildale
Working-class neighborhoods north of the Kern River with deep roots in the oil industry. Tower-based internet reaches streets where cable buildout has been slow or patchy.
- 03
Northwest Bakersfield
Newer subdivisions, shopping centers, and growing residential tracts. Streets go up fast and U-wifi works the week you move in, no line extension required.
- 04
East Bakersfield
A mix of older homes, industrial sites, and tight-knit communities east of Union Avenue. Multi-carrier failover keeps you online even when one network gets congested.
- 05
Southwest Bakersfield
Residential sprawl stretching toward the oil fields and farmland on the city's edge. If the carriers cover it, so does U-wifi, no matter how far from the central office.
- 06
Mill Creek
Quiet streets and family homes in the northwest part of the city. A gateway that connects to three networks means you're not stuck with whoever laid cable first.
FAQ
Common questions about internet in Bakersfield
How much does home internet cost in Bakersfield?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Bakersfield, whether you're in Downtown Bakersfield, Oildale or out by East Bakersfield. The next-gen gateway, two-day shipping and your first 30 days are free, and there's no contract. Or pay nothing at all with FreeU: watch ads you choose in the U-wifi app and earn credit toward your bill.
How does free internet in Bakersfield work?
Every U-wifi customer in Bakersfield can switch on FreeU inside the U-wifi app. Our Choice Advertising model lets you pick the ads you see, and watching them earns credit against your monthly service. Watch enough and the $55 is covered. Keep watching past that and you earn U-Bonus points toward merchandise in the U-store. Same gateway, same unlimited data, same speeds.
How fast is U-wifi internet in Bakersfield?
Wired speeds in Bakersfield vary widely by street and neighborhood, especially in older areas and newer subdivisions where infrastructure hasn't caught up. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with speeds that depend on the carrier signal at your address. U-wifi doesn't tie you to one network. Our gateway picks the strongest 5G signal at your address across the major national carriers and switches if a better one appears, so you get the best speed available in your part of Bakersfield at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do wildfires and public safety power shutoffs affect internet service in Bakersfield?
Bakersfield faces wildfire season, public safety power shutoffs, and winter atmospheric rivers as the main weather risks. Because U-wifi runs on multiple carrier networks instead of a single cable line, if one tower goes down your gateway shifts to the next available one. During a major wildfire or power shutoff, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to restore a damaged line.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Bakersfield?
Yes. Apartments and condos across Valley Plaza Mall, Northwest Bakersfield, and Southwest Bakersfield get the same plug-and-play setup with no landlord permission required. The gateway plugs into any outlet and works best near a window. No drilling, no antennas on the roof and nothing to remove when you move out. The gateway's wifi covers a typical 2,500 square foot home and supports up to 256 devices, so a one-bedroom or a shared house is fine.
How do I set up U-wifi in Bakersfield?
Enter your Bakersfield address to confirm coverage, order, and the gateway arrives within two days. Plug it in, find the U-wifi network on your phone or laptop, and enter the password printed on the bottom of the gateway. That's the whole install. No technician, no appointment window, and your first 30 days are a free trial.
What happens if I move within Bakersfield?
Pack the gateway, plug it in at the new address and connect as usual. Then sign in to your U-wifi account and update your address. Nothing to return, nothing to reschedule, and the price stays the same.
What areas near Bakersfield does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Bakersfield and in Delano, Porterville and Tulare. Enter your address to confirm availability at your home. If you're on the edge of coverage, the gateway also supports an external antenna for weaker 5G areas.
