Viasat Internet Plans, Speeds, and Availability

Q: Is Viasat internet actually unlimited?

Viasat has unlimited data with no extra charges or restrictions and is currently the only satellite provider that does so. Both Hughesnet and Starlink have unlimited standard data, but standard data connections are deprioritized in favor of priority data users. Viasat has noted that households that use over 850GB of data in a month might experience slowing, so it sounds like there is still some deprioritization for the most intense users, though it’s not clear what form this takes. For context, the largest data plan Viasat offered before the launch of its Unleashed plan was 500GB. So even if this switches you over to a deprioritized connection just like Starlink and Hughesnet plans use, you still get almost the full equivalent of Starlink’s priority data plan for free. This means that Viasat might technically have a data cap, but it’s still a pretty good deal.

Q: Is Viasat available in cities?

Yes, you can get Viasat even if you live in an urban area with other options, though options like fiber, cable, and DSL are usually going to be faster and cheaper. Satellite is also poorly suited to activities like video chat, online games, and streaming video. We generally only suggest satellite internet providers when there are no other options available.
