FAQ

Common questions about internet in San Francisco

How much does home internet cost in San Francisco?

U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in San Francisco, whether you're in Castro District, Inner Sunset or out by North Beach. 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 San Francisco work?

Every U-wifi customer in San Francisco 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 San Francisco?

Wired speeds in San Francisco vary widely by street, building age, and whether your block got fiber or still runs on old coax. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with speeds that depend on the carrier signal strength at your address and how many neighbors are on the same tower. 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 San Francisco 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 U-wifi service in San Francisco?

Wildfire season and public safety power shutoffs are real risks across the Bay Area, and winter atmospheric rivers can knock out infrastructure. 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 signal. During a major event, service depends on whether the carrier towers in your area have backup power, but you're not waiting on a single provider to restore a downed line.

Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in San Francisco?

Yes. High-rise apartments are common in South of Market and Mission Bay, where tower-based internet reaches upper floors without waiting on building-wide cable upgrades. 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 San Francisco?

Enter your San Francisco 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 San Francisco?

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 San Francisco does U-wifi serve?

U-wifi is live across San Francisco and in Daly City, Alameda and Oakland. 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.
