Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in Reading

Victorian architecture and narrow lots where drilling for fiber isn't always an option. A wireless gateway sits on a shelf by the window and delivers unlimited data without touching the walls.

FAQ
Common questions about internet in Reading
How much does home internet cost in Reading?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Reading, whether you're in Mount Penn, West Reading or out by Queen Anne Historic District.

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 Reading?
Wired speeds in Reading vary by street and neighborhood, depending on which provider laid cable and when. Tower-based speeds depend on your distance from the nearest cell site and how many people are sharing it, but you get true broadband without waiting for a line to your door. 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 Reading 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 affect internet service in Reading?
Reading sees winter ice storms and severe thunderstorms that can knock out power and damage infrastructure. Because U-wifi connects to multiple carrier networks, if one tower goes offline your gateway shifts to another. During a major ice storm or severe weather event, service depends on whether the carrier towers have power, but you're not tied to a single cable line that might be down for days.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Reading?
Yes. Apartments are common near West Reading and around Albright College, where a plug-in gateway and no-contract plan make move-in simple. 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 Reading?
Enter your Reading 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 Reading?
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 Reading does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Reading and in Lancaster, Allentown and Bethlehem. 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.
