Coverage by area
Neighborhoods we cover in Scranton
- 01
Green Ridge
Residential streets with older homes and a mix of renters and long-time owners. A gateway near a window picks up the best signal without waiting for a truck to run new cable.
- 02
Lackawanna Transit Center
Transit hub and downtown connector in the heart of the city. Tower coverage is strong, and setup takes five minutes whether you're in a walk-up or a converted loft.
- 03
Nay Aug Park
City park and recreation area on the edge of town. Homes nearby often sit outside the footprint of legacy wired buildouts, but tower reach is consistent.
- 04
University of Scranton
Campus area with student housing and older apartment stock near Central City. Multi-carrier 5G means you're not stuck with whoever wired the building decades ago.
- 05
Roaring Brook
Outer neighborhood where newer construction and rehabs mix with older homes. Cable rollout can lag behind development; a plug-and-play gateway keeps pace with the city.
- 06
Steamtown National Historic Site
Historic rail yard and museum district downtown. Surrounding blocks include converted industrial spaces where running new wire is expensive and slow; wireless is faster.
FAQ
Common questions about internet in Scranton
How much does home internet cost in Scranton?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Scranton, whether you're in Green Ridge, Nay Aug Park or out by University of Scranton.

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 Scranton 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 Scranton?
Wired speeds in Scranton vary widely by district and street, depending on how old the lines are and when they were last upgraded. U-wifi delivers true broadband over whichever carrier network is strongest 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 Scranton 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 ice affect internet service in Scranton?
Winter storms, ice, and severe thunderstorms are the main weather risks in Scranton and Northeastern Pennsylvania. 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 ice storm or blizzard, 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 Scranton?
Yes. Apartment buildings around the University of Scranton and near the Lackawanna Transit Center 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 Scranton?
Enter your Scranton 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 Scranton?
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 Scranton does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Scranton and in Wilkes-Barre, Bethlehem and Allentown. 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.
