Sorry, we are hoping to get the http->https redirect set up soon. For the time being, if you get that error ensure the URL has HTTPS in it (you may have to add the "s" in https manually depending on where you found the link):
https://myesvt.exede.net
Thanks for trying it out!

I just got on the page. I like it.
I was on the page earlier today, and it's very helpful -- thanks for listening to my suggestion, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. But! I couldn't access it last night or tonight – is that link available only during daytime working hours at Exede HQ? Strange.
Steve Frederick-VS1/Beam314, Champion
Tom, that link is active 24/7.
Strange, I say, because I was on it three times earlier today, and I can't get there now by clicking on the link. That just takes me to my log-in page.
Steve Frederick-VS1/Beam314, Champion
Hhave you tried to log in? I have to log in every time I want to view eSVT.
Yes, I've tried logging in before and after -- to no avail -- the link just sends me back to my log-in page even when I'm logged in
(Edited)
It appears it may be a problem with Firefox; I am currently logged on to myesvt using Safari.
@Steve+@Tom: have you been able to get it to work okay? The login will timeout about every so often (two hours is what I think it is set at) username/password will be required again.
We know the disclaimer is a bit pesky, so we'll see what we can do about that.

@heykevin: I have not had any problems logging in to eSVT.
eSVT blows. It's all just crap they come up with out of nowhere it seems to me. Half of last months data and half of this months data so far went to"storage". REALLY? That's the best you can do? There is only 2 devices in my home that ever connect to my wireless, which has bomb security btw, and neither have Google drive or any other cloud service on them. The only link to the cloud is from my phone which has never even connected on my network. I don't even think I've logged into my cloud once since I started service with execs. Ah its just one lie in a pile of lies that I've been told by this company. They record the customer service calls but won't review them for nothing. They tell me I'll pretty much have all the data I'll ever want for 80$a month. Only to tell me in a letter by mail 3 days after I sign the contract at the install, the same install that the they said was free, that I only have 10 gigs and then they burn me for half of it. Then on top of it my buddies tracfone net loads pages faster. Even tho myeSVT says my shit is at 15 down 5 up or some crap. Storage? What a joke just another way to make us feel empowered while we're bent over. I probably used a gig reading this thread.
You need to empower yourself - determine if your router has any traffic monitoring features and use it to verify any discrepancies in usage count. If not, install a freely available traffic monitoring application on all of your attached devices/operating systems and verify any discrepancies. There are a wide variety of traffic monitoring applications - I'd recommend one but don't know what operating system(s) you use. But if you should just happen to be a Windows 7, 8, 10 user - try Glasswire. ViaSat's tool won't provide you with the level of detail need to really determine where your data is going (it really is not their responsibility IMHO nor would it be advisable for privacy concerns).
Sounds like you're on the Liberty 10 Plan, have blown through your priority data and in Liberty Pass mode - again just guessing since all you've done is vented and provide no substance to go on.

I just tried it again and it works fine...this is the link I bookmarked for easy access....try it:
https://myssoapps.exede.net/federation/cdcservlet?goto=https%3A%2F%2Fmyesvt.exede.net%3A443%2F%3F_ga...
https://myssoapps.exede.net/federation/cdcservlet?goto=https%3A%2F%2Fmyesvt.exede.net%3A443%2F%3F_ga...
The simpler link should also redirect to the longer URL you have there: https://myesvt.exede.net/

One possibility no one has addressed is will this tool work for customers that are not direct WB/Exede contract users...like the Dish, DTV or Co-Op customers...I remember other functions did not work for non-direct-contracted WB/Exede customers...maybe some of those customers can comment on this...
At the moment, it requires myexede credentials, which requires getting the service through a retail channel (i.e. not NRTC or DISH). Changing that would require both demand for it and working with wholesale partners for approval.
Thanks to everyone has taken the time to try out my.esvt so far, here is what we are seeing for unique visitors and dashboard views per day:
I looked at my usage and so much is for storage. How can I cut this down? Thanks!

Hey Sandy!
Storage is pretty much cloud services, (iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc)
Most of these services offer auto photo uploads, data backups, etc. That'll eat up your data pretty quick, depending on how many devices, and what's being backed up.
Check the settings on these programs, and adjust as needed.

Storage includes mostly FTP, HTTP, RAR, Game downloads, be that form a website or via a game launcher like Steam, Glyph or, Origin Games, file hosting downloads, (Mediafire, DropBox, etc...) Cloud service like iCloud, Ondrive, Picasa, etc... Remote backup service, online backup service. One Note, iPhone backing up to iCloud, etc...
Basically if it isn't a system update (Operating System Update) and isn't audio or video or, form an audio or video service like iTunes, Netflix, etc... but, it does involve a file transfer - it's storage.
Disable all cloud services, minimize file uploads and downloads, make sure your mobile devices are only backing themselves up to your computer, not to the cloud service or and online/everywhere location unless you really need all of your stuff from those devices available everywhere. Try to share photos or download files of any kind during the free zone (if you have it.) Disable automatic updates for games and other programs or applications. (I allow only operating system and antivirus/firewall to auto update, anything else I will update manually if I need it updated.)

"This is a older thread but we're actually ending the eSVT beta test for our customers and will release a usage meter tool that will use a lot of what eSVT offers."
Thanks Brad. So does that mean you're going to introduce the new tool and THEN end eSVT? Because taking away eSVT without giving users the new tool would be pretty bad :-). Hopefully you weren't referring to the new Facebook bot with this post.

When I go to EasyChat on Facebook Messenger, all that appears for View My Usage is the very plain speedometer like meter, the same that appears on the Exede Dashboard page, which has been like that since Exede introduced the EasyChat bot last year. Is this all we are going to have now?
"all that appears for View My Usage is the very plain speedometer like meter" Which is utterly useless for a person who is trying to control their usage and figure out what's happening with it.
It is surprising to me how poor Exede's customer service is in terms of "getting it" and prioritizing certain features. They are selling a metered service and one of the top complaints on these forums is "how the heck is it possible I'm using all this data", they probably get in thousands of support confrontations over the years with angry clients about it, and now they're taking away the one half baked beta solution they had that gave customers some ability to monitor it.
Other companies that are less dependent on metered usage get it, Verizon, Comcast all make it easy to look at data usage.
Below is a screenshot from when I experienced some crazy data usage this month that was going to result in hitting my 150 GB limit half way through the cycle. Because I was able to see it in myEsvt, I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. Now I know I'm not the average customer (nor are most of the people commenting on these forums), but just because Exede wants to give customers simple should not equal taking all detail away from those who can use it.
And telling people how they can buy routers or use software to track it is not an appropriate response either. Especially when your (Exede) cheap router can't even be put into bridged mode to play well with other routers! And ya I know, there are suboptimal workarounds for that too, but that's beside the point.
Just don't take away a useful tool you've given customers for this new much less useful tool.

Edit: the big question is, if a more detailed myEVT is coming later this year (which probably means it could be 2 years), why not keep the current one up for people until then?!

My guess is that they are going to take eSVT away before anything else is available to us to monitor data, except for that simple meter that only shows total usage for the cycle.
This morning as I logged in to the eSVT tool, there is a half a page of script instructing one to go to the Facebook Messenger EasyChat, with instructions of how to get to it. The eSVT page is still there, following that message, but Alex did say that the eSVT tool would be taken down on July 22.
The appearance is that the Exede team is not responding to any questions or comments about this subject.

Ya, I got that message this morning too Steve. As Donald Trump would say, "SAD!" :-D.

Also, it is currently not going to be available to those subscribers who get their internet through third party groups such as NRTC, DishNet and others reselling the product.
The website for eSVT is working, I was just on it a few minutes ago.
