I have had Viasat/Exede for around 8 years. I’ve been pleased at times and sometimes very disappointed. Lately very disappointed.
I love Viasat... when it works good enough. Which is always sometimes on priority or in the middle of my off day. It gets up to 12 mbps. Which is Fine. Although after a long day of work I come home to this:
Ugh.
They throttle. Bad. I know the internet could be good. I get they got a business and got make money off of this but they’re going the wrong way. 12 gigs. Fixed wireless companies quoted me 150 gigs. ( I don’t have them because it’s not available.) I hate low caps. “ But Tim they got a unlimited that ain’t unlimited just more gigs than the regular plan. Ya but that come with a price. 150 for fixed wireless promising speeds of 10+ mbps downloads. Ridiculous.
Then when you run out of your out of data they want you to buy more data or purchase a more expensive plan.
This is how I’d do it:
Actually unlimited data 5mbps speed for $50/month
Actually unlimited data 10 mbps speed for $60/month.
Actually unlimited data 20mbps $80/month
And on an on.......
No throttle for all.
And if their is a congested beam then make it faster for that beam to even out.
If people want to pay more for more then you everyone is happy.
YAY.
Nobody buys 1gb for $10 so instead do that.
I’d probably pay more for this system.
Anyway it sounds great to me. Viasat could maybe even complete with dsl with this system. Stop the greed. I’d love to see Viasat exede with internet. (Get It)
The lucky ones who don’t live in “congested areas” got it good. Be thankful.
Thanks for reading.
