About Viasat
Viasat is one of the two traditional satellite internet providers in the US. It operates a satellite network that covers the entire country, allowing even the most remote locations to connect to the internet.
Why choose Viasat internet?
Viasat gives you just a single plan option, but it comes with unlimited data and no long-term contracts. As with all satellite internet, it’s generally slower and more expensive than wired connections, so it’s a good option when there are no other internet services in the area.
Pros
- Fast satellite speeds
- No contract
- Wide availability
Cons
- Higher monthly cost
- High Latency
How does Viasat compare to other providers?
There are a lot of new providers competing for the satellite internet market, including low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations like Starlink. Viasat has the advantage of being an established provider with proven technology, making it a good choice for rural internet customers who want faster speeds, unlimited data, and the flexibility of no-contract internet.
FAQ
How many satellite internet providers are there?
There are two major satellite internet providers: Viasat and HughesNet. They are the only traditional satellite internet companies operating in the US, however, there are numerous companies attempting to establish LEO satellite internet service. The only one currently available is Starlink, but other companies, including Project Kuiper (owned by Amazon), Telesat Lightspeed, LeoSat, and OneWeb (funded by Tokyo-based SoftBank Group), are in the process of building their own LEO satellite constellations.
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.
