Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in San Jose
- 01
Willow Glen
Tree-lined streets, historic bungalows, and a walkable downtown with local shops. A tower-based connection means you don't need to wait for legacy wiring upgrades in older homes.
- 02
Evergreen
Hillside subdivisions and newer construction on the east side of the valley. Streets went up fast and cable didn't always follow; U-wifi works the day you move in.
- 03
Japantown
One of the last three historic Japantowns in the country, with shops, restaurants, and close-in apartments. Multi-carrier coverage fits dense blocks where wired service varies building to building.
- 04
Almaden Valley
Newer homes, cul-de-sacs, and families spread across the southern hills. Wired buildout is uneven this far from the core; a gateway that taps multiple towers closes the gap.
- 05
Downtown San Jose
High-rises, lofts, and rapid turnover in a dense urban core. Plug-and-play setup means you're online in minutes, no appointment with a cable tech required.
- 06
Berryessa
Affordable single-family homes and apartments in North San Jose, with a mix of longtime residents and new arrivals. Tower coverage is strong and consistent where cable availability isn't.
FAQ
Common questions about internet in San Jose
How much does home internet cost in San Jose?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in San Jose, whether you're in Willow Glen, Evergreen or out by Downtown San Jose.

How does free internet in San Jose work?

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 Jose?
Wired speeds in San Jose vary widely by neighborhood and even by block, depending on when infrastructure was laid and how much the provider invested. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with the actual speed shaped by carrier coverage and local tower density. 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 Jose 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 Jose?
Wildfire season, public safety power shutoffs, and winter atmospheric rivers are the main weather risks in San Jose. 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 wildfire or major storm, service depends on carrier tower power and whether utilities have cut electricity to reduce fire risk. Your gateway will work as long as you have backup power and at least one carrier tower is live.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in San Jose?
Yes. Apartments and condos are concentrated in Downtown San Jose, North San Jose, and Berryessa, where plug-and-play setup works well in buildings with inconsistent wired service. 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 Jose?
Enter your San Jose 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 Jose?
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 Jose does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across San Jose and in Santa Clara, Campbell and Milpitas. 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.
