Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in Raleigh
- 01
Historic Oakwood
Tree-lined streets, Victorian homes, and residents who care about preservation. A plug-and-play gateway means no drilling, no exterior boxes, and connection the day you move in.
- 02
North Hills
Mixed-use development with apartments, offices, and shopping all in one district. High tenant turnover and dense living mean you need internet that ships free and works without an installer.
- 03
Five Points Historic Neighborhoods
Walkable blocks, older construction, and a lot of renters near NC State. Wired service can lag behind leasing cycles; a tower-based gateway keeps pace with how fast people move here.
- 04
Boylan Heights
Craftsman bungalows and a tight-knit community just south of downtown. Homes here were built long before fiber planning, so a wireless connection often beats waiting for a trench crew.
- 05
Glenwood South
Nightlife, restaurants, and a lot of young professionals in mid-rise apartments. You want internet that arrives in two days and doesn't require a service window.
- 06
Cameron Village Historic District
One of the first shopping centers in the Southeast, now surrounded by established neighborhoods. A multi-carrier gateway adapts to the signal, so you're not locked to one network's coverage map.
FAQ
Common questions about internet in Raleigh
How much does home internet cost in Raleigh?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Raleigh, whether you're in Historic Oakwood, North Hills or out by Boylan Heights. 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 Raleigh work?
Every U-wifi customer in Raleigh 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 Raleigh?
Wired speeds in Raleigh vary widely by street and neighborhood. Some blocks have fiber, others have older cable infrastructure, and new construction can wait months for a line to be run. 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 Raleigh at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do hurricanes and inland flooding affect internet service in Raleigh?
Atlantic hurricanes and inland flooding are the main weather risks in Raleigh. 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 hurricane or flood event, service depends on carrier tower power, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Raleigh?
Yes. Apartments are everywhere in Raleigh, especially around North Hills and Glenwood South, where plug-and-play setup and no installer make move-in day easier. 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 Raleigh?
Enter your Raleigh 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 Raleigh?
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 Raleigh does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Raleigh and in Cary, Apex and Durham. 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.
