Moving into a new apartment and being stuck without Internet is no fun. So, you should probably make sure you’re signed up to get on the web before it’s too late and you’re trekking to the HUB to do homework every night.

Good news: Onward State has partnered up with Getwireless to offer our readers a special deal. Sign up by Wednesday August 19th and mention the Onward State deal, and you will get a free month of Internet service and a free wireless router or a $25 gift card, your choice. If you sign up online, enter ONWARDSTATE in the space marked “promotional code” to take advantage of the deal.

Getwireless is locally owned and operated by Penn State grads and has been focused on delivering high quality Internet to Penn State students since 2005. If you will be living in The Meridian, Calder Commons, GN Associates buildings, AW and Sons buildings, and many Associated Realty (ARPM) properties, you can sign up for service. If you’re not sure if you can get service, check out the list of buildings serviced.

Over the summer Getwireless was busy building an unlimited capacity, redundant fiber network to enhance its local services even more.

Getwireless’ rates and plans are as follows:

12 mb/s — $29.95/month
20 mb/s — $39.95/month
50 mb/s — $59.95/month

And if you want incredibly fast Internet:
100 mb/s — $94.95/month

The price is the price, there are no extra fees for modem rentals or taxes. In most cases the service will be installed in your apartment before you even get back to town, so you will have Internet the moment you get to your apartment. All service is installed and tested by professional installers for NO extra cost, so you don’t have to hook it up yourself.

Getwireless is the best option in town in terms of price and speeds. According to their websites: Comcast charges $49.95/month for 6 mb/s plus charges you a $10/month fee to rent a modem, and Windstream offers maximum speeds of 12mb/s, their prices start at $29.95/month for up to 3mb/s plus $6.99/month to rent a modem and another $35 if you want professional installation.
