U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Asheville, whether you're in Downtown Asheville Historic District, East End/Valley Street Neighborhood or out by Chestnut Hill Historic District. 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.

Every U-wifi customer in Asheville 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.

Wired speeds in Asheville vary widely by street and neighborhood, especially where older infrastructure meets mountain terrain. U-wifi delivers true broadband from whichever carrier network is strongest at your address, so you get the best available connection without guessing. 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 Asheville at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Atlantic hurricanes can bring heavy rain and inland flooding to Asheville, especially where the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers meet. Because U-wifi connects to multiple carrier networks instead of a single cable or fiber line, if one tower goes down your gateway shifts to the next available signal automatically. During a major storm, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a repair crew. Multi-carrier failover means you stay online as long as at least one network is up.

Yes. Renters near Grove Arcade and around the Jackson Building get the same plug-and-play setup: gateway in the box, power cord in the wall, wifi live in minutes. 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.

Enter your Asheville 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.

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.

U-wifi is live across Asheville and in Hickory, Gastonia and Huntersville. 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.
