The short answer: the best internet in Hendry County depends on your road. If Conexon fiber or Xfinity cable reaches your address, they are fast and well priced. Where they don’t, which is most rural lots, Streamline is the local option with the lowest latency, the strongest uploads, a team based in LaBelle, and a price locked for life. 5G home internet is cheaper but shares cell sites with phones, and satellite works anywhere but trades away speed, latency or price.
Internet in Hendry County is a street-by-street story. Two houses a mile apart can have completely different options. This guide lists every provider we know of that serves the county, what each one costs, and where each one makes sense. We’re one of them, so we say plainly where someone else is the better fit.
Prices and figures come from each provider’s own pages, checked in October 2026, unless a source says otherwise. Sources are at the bottom.

Streamline Basics ($55, 50/10 Mbps) is for fixed-income, low-income and senior households. Our other plans run $65 to $105 in Hendry County. See them all on Plans & Pricing.
Cable: Xfinity
Comcast’s Xfinity cable reaches most of LaBelle and is extending into rural Hendry County, including Montura, with state broadband grant money [10]. Outside town, coverage is still decided street by street.
Xfinity’s national pricing, introduced in June 2025, sells each speed three ways: a one-year price guarantee, a five-year guarantee, or the everyday price. A 300 Mbps plan is $40, $55 or $70 a month on those three terms, and all plans include unlimited data and the gateway [1]. Promotions change often, so check the price shown for your address.
Best for: homes on a cable street that want top download speeds at a low starting price.
Fiber: Conexon Connect and AT&T
Glades Electric Cooperative and Conexon finished a fiber network in 2026 across about 1,600 miles of the co-op’s territory, reaching more than 14,000 homes and businesses [2]. In Hendry County that includes parts of Port LaBelle, Pioneer, Montura, Clewiston and Big Cypress [11]. Plans are $59.95 for 200 Mbps, $79.95 for 1 Gig and $99.95 for 2 Gig, with the same speed up and down [2].
AT&T Fiber, formerly Quantum Fiber, reaches some addresses in the area too. AT&T bought that business from CenturyLink’s parent company in February 2026 [12].
Best for: anyone whose address has it. If fiber reaches your house, take a hard look at it.
DSL: CenturyLink
CenturyLink sells DSL over copper phone lines for $55 a month, plus up to $17 a month for a leased modem and up to $149 for a technician install [3]. It advertises up to 100 Mbps, but DSL slows down with every foot of wire between your home and CenturyLink’s equipment. On long rural lines, speeds are often 5 to 25 Mbps, with uploads a small fraction of that.
CenturyLink’s parent company sold its fiber business to AT&T in February 2026 and describes the copper network it kept as one it manages “for cash flow” [12]. See CenturyLink vs. Streamline for the full breakdown.
Best for: homes close to CenturyLink’s equipment that only need light internet.
5G home internet: T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T
All three carriers sell home internet over their cell networks. It’s cheap, especially with a phone line from the same carrier, and you set it up yourself. The catch is sharing. A cell site’s capacity is split between every phone and gateway in range, and all three carriers manage home internet traffic when a site gets busy [4] [5] [6]. Uploads are modest: Ookla’s mid-2026 medians were 10 to 18 Mbps [13].
See 5G home internet vs. fixed wireless, T-Mobile vs. Streamline and AT&T Internet Air vs. Streamline.
Best for: light users and phone customers of the same carrier, at addresses with a strong 5G signal.
Satellite: Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat
Starlink works almost anywhere with open sky. It lists $55, $85 and $130 a month for its 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and Max plans with a rented dish, and raised prices on existing customers in June 2026 [7]. Trees are its weak spot in Hendry County. See Starlink vs. Streamline.
HughesNet and Viasat use satellites 22,000 miles up, so every click waits half a second or more. Plans usually start with a promo price on a 24-month term [8] [9]. HughesNet’s parent filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2026 and says service continues [14]. Nearly one in five Port LaBelle homes uses satellite, and we wrote a guide for them.
Best for: truly remote properties that nothing else reaches.
Streamline
Streamline is the internet company based in LaBelle. Our network reaches homes across Hendry County that cable and fiber never got to, and we built it for this place:
- Speed you can plan on. 100 Mbps (Essential), 200 Mbps (Plus) or 300 Mbps (MAX), with bursts up to 600 Mbps, plus Basics at 50 Mbps for qualifying households.
- Uploads that hold up. 20 to 60 Mbps, bursting to 120. That’s well above 5G and satellite, and it’s what video calls, cameras and cloud backups run on.
- Low latency. 15 to 30 ms, low enough for gaming and calls.
- Unlimited data. No caps on any plan.
- A price that never moves. $55, $65, $85 or $105 a month in Hendry County, locked for life.
- No residential contract. Month to month, cancel anytime.
- Local people. A local tech installs it. A local team answers 24/7 in English and Spanish.
- Built for hurricane season. Every site is built with three independent upstream connections and battery backup, with generators at select sites.
Best for: homes that cable and fiber don’t reach, anyone who has been burned by price hikes or evening slowdowns, and anyone who wants a local company to call.
