U-wifi launches affordable 5G internet on T-Mobile network to aid families post-ACP expiration

U-wifi announced a new 5G internet service launching October 1, 2026, using T-Mobile's network to provide affordable broadband after the FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ended. The ACP previously subsidized internet for 23 million households, and its expiration has increased the digital divide. U-wifi's service will offer low-cost or free internet options through its FreeU™ ad-supported platform, targeting underserved groups like low-income families, students, and seniors. This initiative aims to restore affordable internet access and reduce digital exclusion in vulnerable communities.

T-Mobile shares trade at USD 164.76 on Pluang as of Sep 25, 2026, 19:51 WIB, down 0.36% for the day. The stock's market cap stands at $177.37 billion with a dividend yield of 2.47%. This pricing reflects investor sentiment shortly before U-wifi's new 5G service launch using T-Mobile's network.
