Viasat Internet
Viasat, formerly known as Exede, offers high-speed satellite internet service. Since Viasat uses satellites in space to beam internet directly to its customers, its internet service is available to 98% of the U.S. population, with coverage in all 50 states.
If you live somewhere where other internet providers are either too slow or few and far between, Viasat could be just what you need.

Viasat also offers an internet + voice (home phone) package. Customers who bundle internet and home phone service can also save $10/mo off their home phone bill for the first 6 months, for a total savings of $60.
The Good
-
Available in all 50 states, covering 98% of the U.S. population
-
2-year price lock guarantee**
-
Free standard installation with signup*
-
Extra savings with bundle packages
-
Unlimited data (though speeds may be slower after certain thresholds)

The Bad
Viasat’s prices are relatively high for the speeds you get, especially when compared to cable, DSL and wireless internet providers. If such providers are available in your area, you might be able to find a better deal.
The Bottom Line
Viasat is a great option for customers living in rural or remote areas where other providers are either non-existent or offer much slower speeds. If satellite internet is your only option, Viasat offers great incentives – including bundle savings, a price-lock guarantee(2) and free installation with signup(1).
