FAQ
Common questions about internet in Austin
How much does home internet cost in Austin?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Austin, whether you're in Downtown Austin, South Lamar or out by Zilker. 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 Austin work?
Every U-wifi customer in Austin 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 Austin?
Wired speeds in Austin vary widely by street and neighborhood, with some blocks on fiber and others still on old copper. U-wifi delivers true broadband over 5G, and your gateway always picks the fastest available carrier signal. 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 Austin at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do Gulf hurricanes and ice storms affect U-wifi service in Austin?
Central Texas sees Gulf hurricanes, hail, and ice storms that can knock out power lines and damage cable infrastructure. Because U-wifi runs on multiple carrier networks instead of a single wired line, if one tower goes down your gateway shifts to the next available signal automatically. During a major weather event, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Austin?
Yes. U-wifi works in apartments and condos across West Campus and East Riverside-Oltorf, with a gateway that sits on a shelf and needs no landlord approval. 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 Austin?
Enter your Austin 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 Austin?
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 Austin does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Austin and in Pflugerville, Round Rock and Cedar Park. 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.
