Promotional prices for new customers, shown as of October 2026. Plans, prices and speeds vary by address and Viasat confirms them for your home. A $15/mo equipment lease applies to every plan. Taxes extra. A one-time activation fee may apply. Speeds are 'up to' and not guaranteed.
The Internet Guide is a Viasat referral partner and may earn a fee when you sign up. It never changes your price.
