FAQ
Common questions about internet in Houston
How much does home internet cost in Houston?
U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Houston, whether you're in Houston Heights, Brays Oaks or out by Kingwood. 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 Houston work?
Every U-wifi customer in Houston 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 Houston?
Wired speeds in Houston vary widely by street and neighborhood. Some blocks get gigabit fiber, others see legacy cable, and many areas between the major corridors have limited options or none at all. 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 Houston at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.
Do hurricanes and severe storms affect internet service in Houston?
Houston sits near the Gulf of Mexico and faces hurricanes, hail and ice storms that knock out power lines and damage wired infrastructure. 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 hurricane or ice event, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a truck. Once power returns, your gateway reconnects automatically.
Can I get U-wifi in an apartment in Houston?
Yes. U-wifi works in apartments and high-rises across Gulfton and Brays Oaks. One gateway covers a typical unit, plug it in near a window and you're online. 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 Houston?
Enter your Houston 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 Houston?
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 Houston does U-wifi serve?
U-wifi is live across Houston and in Pasadena, Missouri City and Pearland. 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.
