FAQs
Viasat Internet Plans That Bring Powerful Connections to Life
General Service & Availability
Is Viasat service available at my specific location?
Viasat offers near-nationwide coverage, providing service even in many areas where cable and fiber providers cannot reach. Availability is determined by your exact service address.
What speeds can I expect from Viasat satellite internet?
Viasat plans offer high-speed satellite service, with download speeds ranging up to 100 Mbps or 150 Mbps in select regions. Actual performance may be affected by network congestion and weather.
How does Viasat compare to other rural internet options?
Viasat is a premier option for high-speed internet in areas with limited infrastructure. It generally offers higher speeds than legacy DSL or older satellite providers, making it ideal for streaming and video conferencing.
Installation & Equipment
What is required for Viasat installation?
Professional installation is mandatory. A certified technician will mount a small satellite dish on your home or property and connect the modem indoors, optimizing the setup for signal strength.
How long does Viasat installation typically take?
The process is usually completed in a single professional appointment, taking a few hours. Scheduling depends on technician availability in your area.
Is there a cost associated with the equipment?
Viasat generally requires the use of their proprietary satellite dish and modem. You can choose to either rent the equipment monthly or, in some cases, purchase it outright.
Data Plans & Usage
Do Viasat plans have data caps or limitations?
Viasat plans typically feature a set amount of Priority Data. If you exceed this amount, your service remains connected, but your speeds may be reduced during periods of network congestion.
What is "Priority Data," and how is it used?
Priority Data is the high-speed data allocated to your account each month. It ensures your usage is given top preference by the satellite network. Usage resets at the start of each billing cycle.
Can I stream video and use gaming with Viasat?
Yes. Viasat speeds are sufficient for streaming video content, though usage should be monitored against your Priority Data limit. Performance for demanding online gaming can be impacted by satellite latency.
Network Latency & Reliability
Does the signal travel time (latency) affect my Viasat connection?
Yes. Due to the distance the signal travels to the satellite and back, there is inherent latency. This may be noticeable in real-time, high-reaction applications like fast-paced online gaming.
What is the impact of heavy rain or severe weather on service reliability?
Viasat's service is generally robust, but very heavy rain or snow can temporarily degrade the signal. The dish should be kept clear of ice and debris for optimal, consistent performance.
What security features protect my Viasat modem and personal data?
Viasat network security protocols and end-to-end encryption to protect data transmission over the satellite link. Customers are advised to use strong Wi-Fi passwords for home network security.
How does Viasat's 24/7 technical support help resolve service issues?
Viasat offers round-the-clock technical support via phone. They can remotely monitor your connection and guide you through troubleshooting steps to quickly restore service or schedule a maintenance visit.
