Viasat provider overview

Viasat is a satellite internet provider that is widely available across the U.S. 

Viasat offers one satellite internet plan as well as home phone service. You can also pair your Viasat plan with a DISH Network TV plan to expand your home services.

Viasat’s internet service does not have any annual contracts or data caps, so you won’t have to worry about overage or early termination fees. You can also pair your internet plan with Viasat Voice for a discount. If you want TV service, add DISH TV to your Viasat internet plan for access to live TV as well as thousands of on-demand channels.

According to our customer reviews survey, Viasat has below-average ratings, but this is normal for satellite providers since they generally offer lower speeds for higher prices. Read more Viasat customer reviews here.

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 looking for
  • Bundle discounts – Viasat offers a discount on its home phone service if you pair it with internet
  • 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

Viasat deals and promotions

Deals

Viasat offers $20.00 off for six months to new customers. Viasat is also offering a new plan called Unleashed, which provides up to 150 Mbps with no data limits and no contracts. Price varies by address.

Customers can take advantage of Free Zone times when data doesn’t count toward your monthly limit with Viasat.

Viasat installation

New Viasat customers will need professional installation because the satellite dish and other equipment must be precisely placed outside the home. 

Depending on the work required, Viasat’s professional installation can run from $50 to $500. A qualified technician must determine the best location for the dish based on the terrain of your home. This may require a roofline installation or other work dealing with obstacles.
