FAQ
Common questions about internet in Grand Forks
How much does home internet cost in Grand Forks?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Grand Forks, whether you're in University of North Dakota, Columbia Mall or out by Alerus Center.

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 Grand Forks work?
Every U-wifi customer in Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks?
Wired speeds in Grand Forks vary by street and neighborhood, especially in areas rebuilt after the 1997 flood. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, with performance that depends on the carrier signal at your address. 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 Grand Forks 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 internet service in Grand Forks?
Grand Forks sees blizzards and extreme cold every winter, and ice storms can knock out power and connectivity. 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 storm, 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 Grand Forks?
Yes. Multi-unit buildings around University of North Dakota and University Village often have shared internet, and the Skarsbo Apartments and New Hampshire Apartments see high turnover. 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 Grand Forks?
Enter your Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks?
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 Grand Forks does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Grand Forks and in Fargo. 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.
