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.

Help you may qualify for

  • Lifeline (SNAP and Medicaid qualify)

    Up to $9.25 a month off phone or internet, or up to $34.25 on Tribal lands. One discount per household, renewed each year. Ask Viasat whether Lifeline applies to your plan.

  • Programs that fund your community's connection

    These programs fund networks and communities, not a household's monthly bill. Our Funding Desk helps local leaders find them.
