Find internet providers in Hendersonville, NC
Find internet offered in Hendersonville, NC – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Hendersonville, NC, your best bet is AT&T, covering ~74% of the city with FCC-filed speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. That top speed comes from AT&T fiber, which reaches ~22% of the city, so the fastest tier is not available across its entire footprint. Optimum is a close citywide alternative at 66.8%, with cable reaching ~67% of the city at speeds up to 940/35 Mbps. In Hyman Heights, ZIP 28792, Optimum leads at 35.1%, while AT&T fiber reaches 19.5% and Vyve fiber reaches 19.0%. Druid Hills, ZIP 28791, tilts slightly toward AT&T at 38.3% on fiber, ahead of Optimum at 36.6%, making it one of the stronger areas for top-speed service. ZIP 28739 favors Optimum at 41.2%, while ZIP 28793 is more fiber-forward, with AT&T at 48.9% and Vyve at 34.4%. Verizon is worth checking as a fixed-wireless alternative, reaching ~31% of the city at speeds up to 300/20 Mbps. Coverage can change street by street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Hendersonville
AT&T’s $35/mo introductory Fiber 300 plan buys up to 300 Mbps down and 300 Mbps up, while the $95/mo introductory Fiber 5 GIG plan offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways, making its fiber service an excellent, top-tier option. Fiber availability depends on your address, and the 5 GIG plan is available to 21.7% of Hendersonville with a 98/100 Speed Score, above the city’s 76 average. Where fiber is unavailable, Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps down and 300 Mbps up for $55/mo, but its fixed wireless service has a 76/100 score and 18.3% availability.
About AT&T
AT&T Fiber 300 costs $35/mo for the first 12 months, then $60/mo, for up to 300 Mbps both ways, while $50/mo gets you up to 1,000 Mbps both ways on Fiber 1 GIG before rising to $90/mo, making these excellent values for work, streaming, and multiple users. Fiber at these speeds is excellent but available to 22.5% of Hendersonville, so check your address first, while Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps both ways for $55/mo, then $60/mo, as an adequate fixed wireless fallback that may be less consistent for demanding modern use.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Hendersonville
Fiber is an excellent choice for demanding work, streaming, gaming, and large uploads, with up to 5000 Mbps download and 5000 Mbps upload and a 98/100 speed score. That top-tier fiber tier covers 1.0% of Hendersonville, so availability is highly address-dependent, and some Comporium addresses may instead be served by cable or copper. Cable is a reliable option at up to 1000 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload with an 88/100 score, while copper is limited at up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload with a 5/100 score, so consider checking other providers first if fiber or cable is unavailable.
About Comporium Brevard
Fiber is the standout here, with up to 5000 Mbps download and 5000 Mbps upload or up to 1000 Mbps both ways, making it excellent for streaming, gaming, video calls, and busy households. Cable is also a strong choice, offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload across 4.2% of census blocks, while the fiber plans reach just 1.0% and 0.6%, so the faster options are very address-dependent. Where only copper is available, up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload is suitable mainly for basic browsing, so check your address for fiber or cable first.

Our recommendation for Hendersonville
Satellite internet offers broad reach and can support streaming, browsing, and everyday home use, but its higher latency may affect video calls, gaming, and other real-time activities. Starlink’s Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130 per month, with a Speed Score of 71/100, below Hendersonville’s city average of 76. The plan is listed as available to 100.0% of Hendersonville, though checking what other technologies reach your specific address is wise before choosing satellite.
About Starlink
Satellite internet gives Starlink broad reach, but its higher latency can be noticeable for gaming, video calls, and other real-time use. Its fastest plan is available to 100.0% of Hendersonville and offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, but check your address for fiber or cable first because those technologies are generally better for demanding modern internet use, while Starlink is a useful fallback where they are unavailable.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Hendersonville
The monthly price shown for Kinetic by Windstream buys very different value depending on the connection: its fiber plan offers up to 2000 Mbps download and 2000 Mbps upload, with a 95/100 Speed Score. That fiber tier is a top-tier option and scores above Hendersonville’s average top speed score of 76, but it covers only 0.1% of the city. Since Kinetic may serve an address over copper instead, confirm the technology available at your address: copper ranges from up to 200 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload at 71/100 to up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload at 5/100, so the lower tiers have limited performance compared with alternatives and are worth checking against other providers first.
About Kinetic by Windstream
For the monthly price you’re quoted, Kinetic by Windstream can be excellent value at addresses eligible for its fiber plan, with up to 2000 Mbps download and upload, though that top option reaches only 0.1% of census blocks. Elsewhere, its copper plans range from up to 200 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up to 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, which may cover basic browsing but can be limiting for streaming, video calls, and multiple users, so check your address for fiber or another faster provider first.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
