Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 583 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many consumers genuinely appreciate the professional and knowledgeable technicians who handle installations and repairs efficiently. People living in remote rural areas often find the satellite connection quite dependable when standard options are entirely unavailable. However, some customers also noted that the internet connection frequently becomes unreliable during bad weather conditions. Others feel that the monthly pricing is far too high for the actual speeds provided. A few users mentioned ongoing difficulties when trying to get timely and helpful assistance from customer support. Additionally, several individuals experienced unexpected rate increases over time without noticing any performance improvements.

A few years back I had trouble with…

A few years back I had trouble with this internet and called several times to get service. I always got someone from a different country. Each time they would send me a name of a company for service and those company's where out of business or had stopped working for you, some for 2-3 years. your records you send them where not up to date. Then I got a call from some pretending to be from your company and was trying to scam me. I am sure he was one of the men I talked to about a service call from your company.

Pricey SLOW Service

It amazes me I was sent an email regarding signal improvement BEFORE I complained about it. Its like it was known already...this slow signal issue. To pay what I am, I am NOT satisfied w/ service, overall. B/C EVERY THING in our world depends on WiFi, improvement should be made to have better [signal] quality.

Well I have unlimited …

Well I have unlimited something for $142 a month and it is really not much better than what I had. It's not fast but is a little faster than what I had. I've been with you a long time hoping some day we might get fast Internet. Thanks

Was recently convinced to switch plans…

Was recently convinced to switch plans by a sales associate. I was assured that our internet speeds wouldnt be compromised. Not only is the plan slower its not useable during peak times. This is when i commonly work from home. After being a long time customer i was saddened that i would be bait and switched in this way. Would really appreciate having our past plans speeds restored otherwise we are going to have to switch internet providers.

ViaSat customer of 10 to 15 years

We have been with Viasat for 10 to 15 years and have found their service to be basically reliable and useable. Yes, sometimes during storms you can lose a connection. And, yes, it is not as fast or quick as a land connection. But when you are in a rural location it works.

We can stream videos, play PC games (but not multi-player ones, 3/4 second lag makes it hard). If you are an intense computer user, you might need to find a faster service or move to a city.

We have never had to have a service call. They have improved their plans over time. We used to only have a 12 Gb data limit, now it is a 60 Gb limit, which for us, usually works just fine. As a matter of fact I have a zoom call in less than 10 minutes, so I need to wrap this up.
