Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in Minneapolis
- 01
North Loop
Old warehouses turned lofts, new mid-rises, and a lot of renters who move every year or two. A plug-and-play gateway means you skip the installer wait and get online the same day you unpack.
- 02
Dinkytown
Student apartments near the University of Minnesota, high turnover, and landlords who don't always upgrade the wiring. Tower-based internet works in any unit with a window, no cable jack needed.
- 03
Longfellow
Quiet blocks of older homes between the river and Hiawatha Avenue, with basements that sometimes flood in spring. A gateway on the second floor near a window gets the best signal and stays dry.
- 04
Linden Hills
Tree-lined streets around Lake Harriet, single-family homes, and families who stream on multiple devices at once. One gateway supports up to 256 devices and covers a typical 2,500 square foot home.
- 05
Cedar-Riverside
High-rise apartments, new Americans, and residents who pay bills in cash at corner stores. U-wifi lets you order online with a card or use a QR code to pay cash at participating retailers.
- 06
Uptown
Dense mix of old walk-ups and new apartments around Lyn-Lake, where every building has a different internet setup. Multi-carrier 5G reaches every floor, so you're not stuck with whoever has the contract.
FAQ
Common questions about internet in Minneapolis
How much does home internet cost in Minneapolis?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Minneapolis, whether you're in Downtown Minneapolis, Uptown or out by Northeast. 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 Minneapolis work?
Every U-wifi customer in Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis?
Wired speeds in Minneapolis vary widely by neighborhood and even by block, depending on how old the lines are and when they were last upgraded. U-wifi pulls from the strongest 5G tower at your address, so your experience depends on carrier coverage where you live. 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 Minneapolis at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do winter storms and blizzards affect my internet service in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis gets heavy snow, ice storms, and blizzards every winter, and they can knock out power and connectivity across the metro. 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 blizzard or ice storm, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to clear the lines and send a truck.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Minneapolis?
Yes. Minneapolis has thousands of rental units in Cedar-Riverside, Dinkytown, and North Loop where a plug-and-play gateway beats waiting for a landlord to schedule an install. 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 Minneapolis?
Enter your Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis?
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 Minneapolis does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Minneapolis and in St. Louis Park, Edina and St. Paul. 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.
