Internet speed vs cost
I liked being able to have internet in a location that is not serviced by any ISPs. The service download speed ranged from 2 mbs to 30 mbs. Most of the time it was at the lower end of this range. And, the servide is grossly over priced. My ISP in Berkeley with speeds up to 350 mbs is $50 a month cheaper.

I had viasat for years and liked it but this last time the coverage wasn’t very good and I went with a cheaper company

My experience has been good as long as the modem keeps working but it frequently goes offline. I think I need a new one.
Poor service and too much cost for what you get.
This company costs too much. I rent the equipment, they do not respond to outages. It is off quite a bit. When it was new, it was not this way.
Inconsistent service

Dreadful experience. Stay away from Viasat!
Service man never showed up. 10 days now with no internet staff on phone not helpful.
Gross repeated incompetence. This business will not survive for long.

Upgrading me to the unlimited service came in the nick of time as I was about to switch to Starlink.

Viasat is reliable and has been even in bad weather.
They are getting expensive though so the new year is a good time to search for other providers.

I was disappointed to start with with a satellite being attached to my roof. Everytime I turn my computer on it says no internet. The amount you charge every month is way to much. I am ready to fire you and go to another company.
Country life with Satellite TV
Provided with internet service in country area with no available cable service so satellite is all available. Believe of the few companies that service this are Viasat is the best. Only time service is lost is during bad rain or windstorms.
Dependable service unless raining or…
Dependable service unless raining or too windy. Most days are great. Prices are higher than others but maybe you get what you pay for? We are also looking into Starlink for comparison
Better than nothing
Better than nothing, but not by much. When we're not throttled down it is great.
We have used Viasat for 5 years
We have used Viasat for 5 years, living in a rural area. For relying on satellite signal, the service has been very dependable & fast enoug for streaming. Here in CO, we have crazy blizzards & electrical thrunderstorms; it only struggles occassionally during extreme events. We are very happy with their unlimited $99/month plan.
I realize I live in rural Kansas
I realize I live in rural Kansas, but it seems that when the wind blows, it slows everything down, if not go out for a minute or two. Then the price charged each month is so much higher than other people’s.
