College town with historic homes and tree-lined streets. Many older neighborhoods have limited wired options; U-wifi plugs in and connects the same day.

FAQ
Common questions about internet in Newark
How much does home internet cost in Newark?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Newark, whether you're in Heath, Granville or out by Madison Township.

How does free internet in Newark 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 Newark?
Wired speeds in Newark vary widely by street and provider footprint. U-wifi delivers true broadband on the strongest 5G signal available at your address, with unlimited data and no throttling. 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 Newark 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 tornadoes affect internet service in Newark?
Newark gets ice storms in winter and spring severe weather that can bring tornadoes and damaging winds. 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 Newark?
Yes. Apartments near Ohio State University at Newark and complexes around Indian Mound Mall get the same plug-and-play setup as single-family homes. 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 Newark?
Enter your Newark 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 Newark?
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 Newark does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Newark and in Lancaster, Westerville and Columbus. 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.
