I have used ViaSat for about 7 years and I am sure you have upgraded your dish and server a few times, but no one has contacted me to replace my outdated equipment. I am about to switch to Star Link.

As a remote rural customer, I only have two options, Viasat or Starlink. I refused to support Elon Musk, so I have used Viasat for over a decade. Latency (signal delay) on Viasat is a big problem that interferes with on-line meetings and makes voice over internet calls almost impossible. Data allotment on Viasat is stingy unless you pay through the nose. I have been cut off from higher speed data abruptly in the middle of an on-line meeting. On the upside, Viasat is reasonably reliable unless the weather is cloudy and rainy. If other options become available in my remote area, I will leave Viasat.

Very slow. Keep showing offline, need to reset.

Frequent interruptions of service and sometimes excessive usage of data

It is fine for satellite. We lose connection more than we like. When it is running I can get things completed but at a slower speed than WildBlue. We are in a rural area.

Your low budget East Indian customer service is terrible. I tried to return a modem sent to me at the same time as the technician (rating, A+ ) was installing another modem. I tried to explain to the CS rep with heavy accent that all I needed was a UPS return label and Viasat would get the unopened box with modem inside back. The CS rep was confused and put me on hold for well over 5 minutes. I couldn't wait any longer and hung up. Never got a label.

Slower connection now. Seems like it was faster when I first signed up (updated equipment needed perhaps?). Wish there was a loyalty discount or something rewarding long term Via Sat members.
