According to the publication, Viasat offered a variety of rates ranging from $49.99 to $199.95 per month, but most had data caps and required contracts. Cheaper plans only offered speeds of 12Mbps, 25Mbps, or up to 50Mbps.
The Viasat Unleashed program promises speeds of up to 25Mbps and 150Mbps in select markets.
“The new features in the Viasat Unleashed plan are made possible by network optimizations aimed at delivering a more consistent and enhanced user experience to more customers. “It’s a testament to the company’s mission to connect people and their commitment to providing the best possible home Internet experience,” Viasat said.
