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.

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.

When we canceled our subscription to…

When we canceled our subscription to Viasat we got a lot of conflicting information. Having to pay for a full month of service we didn't use is poor customer service. Too expensive for what we were getting. We went with another provider, Evertek, that is faster, less expensive, and amazing customer service. Still waiting on the box we are to use to send old equipment back to Viasat. Calling customer service is not a good experience. It would seem if you can offer 2 free months to try to keep us you could lower your prices and provide a better product.

Think twice

This company is one of the few that can get a signal at our residence. My husband travels for his job 6 months out of a year. I dislike that we have to put our service in hibernation status instead of getting it shutoff. We still have to pay monthly fees. We are going to discontinue services when we are home to dismantle and return the pieces necessary.

Viasat reliability

Viasat always responds quickly to any issues with service. They have been a reliable satellite provider in our rural area. Speeds are good enough for gaming.

Slow speeds

Customer service is decent and polite, problems though are never resolved. Internet speeds are EXTREMELY slow, even paying for the supposed highest speed. Everything buffers constantly.

Good service.. Need to lower cost.

I think the service you provide is very good. The only issue I have is the fee. Primary house I have Comcast and charged $88.00 for their fastest service. Viasat charges $119.00 for service.

Wi-Fi is very weather dependent- it’s on and off depending on clouds/rain etc. we are in a non cellular area and no options for wired internet. Wi-Fi calls drop often - if you don’t purchase the service plan having a service person come on site is extra cost. Buffers quite often.
