What that means if you live here
The USDA classes St. Landry Parish as a nonmetro county with an urban population of 20,000 or more, adjacent to a metro area (continuum code 4).
About 82,071 people live across those locations, roughly 2.2 people per serviceable address.
5.7% of addresses here, 2,156 of them, fall below 25/3 Mbps or have no fixed option at all.
Another 803 can get something, but not the 100/20 Mbps the FCC now treats as the benchmark.
The most widely available technology here is cable, reaching 28,589 locations (75.2%); next is fiber at 54.5%.
Fiber reaches 20,740 locations, 54.5% of the county.
Cable reaches 75.2% of locations, more than fiber does, and it will be concentrated in the built-up parts of the county.
Filings come from 20 providers, of which 7 offer fiber and 3 licensed fixed wireless.
Fiber reached 8,948 more locations in St. Landry Parish over the last twelve months, a 23.5% swing in the county's total.
Served locations rose 3.78% year on year.
That is better than the typical Louisiana county, whose median unserved share is 8.4%.
What people actually measure in Louisiana
Median of real speed tests run on each network during 2024, from M-Lab. This is measured performance, not an advertised plan speed, and not a customer review. The middle-half column shows how consistent a network is: a wide spread means your experience depends heavily on where and when.

Cellular networks, measured
The same measurement for the mobile networks behind 5G home internet. These tests come from phones as well as home gateways, so treat them as an indication of network health in the state rather than a home-internet plan speed.

Latency is the number that decides whether video calls and gaming feel right, and it is where satellite differs most from everything else. Measured data is statewide: below county level there are usually too few tests to report an honest number.

Your realistic options in St. Landry Parish
Fiber
Fiber, if it has reached you
The best outcome by a distance: symmetric speed, low latency, no weather sensitivity, no data ceiling in practice.
Best for
Anyone whose address is inside a fiber build. Always check this first.
Watch out
Coverage stops abruptly at the edge of a build. Being a mile from fiber is the same as being fifty.
5G home internet
T-Mobile Home Internet
Home internet over T-Mobile’s cellular network. A gateway box you plug in yourself; no truck roll, no dish.
Best for
Rural addresses that still get a usable T-Mobile signal, often near a highway or a town
Watch out
Availability is decided address by address, not by town. Speed varies with how busy the local tower is.
