What we like about Viasat

Widespread availability – Viasat is available anywhere in the U.S. If you’re living in an area that’s been deemed unserviceable by other providers, odds are that Viasat is your saving grace
Fast speeds for rural areas – With features like download speeds up to 150 Mbps (where available) and no data caps or contracts, Viasat might be the rural internet solution you’ve been searching for
Bundle discounts – Viasat offers a discount on its home phone service if you pair it with internet

Things to consider about Viasat

Data reprioritization after limit – While Viasat internet technically offers unlimited data, they do enforce a tiered system of “data thresholds.” Essentially, once you exceed your plan’s threshold, your internet speed will be throttled, i.e., slowed down significantly, until your next billing cycle begins
Limited speed offering – Although Viasat offers speeds up to 150 Mbps, your speeds will likely be below that
Limited plan offerings – Viasat only has one internet plan available and does not offer its own TV service
Pricier monthly cost – Like all satellite services, Viasat costs more than most cable or fiber internet plans

Viasat installation
