How much does home internet cost in Long Beach?

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 Long Beach?
Wired speeds in Long Beach vary by street and neighborhood, with some blocks seeing fiber and others waiting on older cable infrastructure. Tower-based speeds depend on your distance from the nearest cell site and the carrier network load in your area. 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 Long Beach 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 power shutoffs affect my internet service in Long Beach?
Wildfire season, public safety power shutoffs, and winter atmospheric rivers are the main risks in Long Beach. 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 event, service depends on carrier tower power and whether the utilities keep the cell sites running, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Long Beach?
Yes. High-rises and apartment buildings are common in Downtown Long Beach and along the Ocean Boulevard corridor, and a gateway near a window connects without building permission. 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 Long Beach?
Enter your Long Beach 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 Long Beach?
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 Long Beach does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Long Beach and in Carson, Lakewood and Compton. 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.
