Thank you for the opportunity to respond

Thank you for bringing Ms*** complaint to our attention. Due to the nature of satellite-based internet service, there are many variables that can affect speeds, including, weather at Viasat’s facilities or at the customer’s home, network congestion, a misconfigured home network or
outdated computer equipment and software. Because of these many variables, Viasat cannot guarantee any particular speed to you. Viasat discloses at the point of sale and in its Customer Agreement that speeds may vary and are not guaranteed.Our records show Ms*** is currently receiving Viasat’s Unlimited Data Bronze service plan at $a month, plus applicable taxes and a $monthly equipment lease feeThe Unlimited Data Bronze service plan provides unlimited data usage at regular speeds up to MbpsThe service is optimized for streaming at small screen quality or 360p.Viasat’s unlimited data service plans do not have a monthly data allowancePursuant to Viasat’s Unlimited Data Policy available at www.exede.com/legal, if a customer uses more than GB of data during their monthly billing period, Viasat may prioritize their data behind other customers during network congestion, which will result in slower speedsStarting on the first day of the customer’s monthly measurement period, all uploaded and downloaded data transmitted using Viasat Internet service will count towards the GB thresholdAt the end of the monthly measurement period, the data usage resets to zeroCustomers are informed of this information when they select one of Viasat’s unlimited data plans, and it is addressed in Viasat’s Customer Agreement and Unlimited Data Policy available at exede.com/legal.The Customer Agreement provided to each new customer, and signed by Linda *** on March 4, 2018, commits each customer to a 24-month minimum service term, and states that early termination fees will apply if service is canceled prior to the expiration of the minimum service term. Customers are advised of this commitment at the time of sale and are reminded of the early termination fees at the time they elect to disconnect prior to the expiration of the minimum service term.Our records show Ms*** purchased Viasat’s Unlimited Data Bronze service plan through an authorized Viasat DealerAll Viasat dealers are contractually required to make customers aware of these points at the time of saleWe apologize if these points were not communicated to Ms*** at the point of sale.On March 6, 2018, Ms*** contacted Viasat to advise of no connectivity with her Viasat service and slow speedsA Viasat representative assisted her in troubleshooting her equipment and running a speed testThis test revealed that Ms*** was experiencing some slow speeds, which were caused by network congestion. Ms*** did not contact Viasat again until March 21, in regards to receiving slow speedsThe Viasat representative advised her that she had used GB of her data, and that her data usage speeds would now be prioritizedThe Viasat representative rebooted her modem and ran a speed test, which determined that her speeds were within range of her planMs*** stated that she was at work, and requested a supervisory Viasat representativeThe supervisory representative advised Ms*** that she was experiencing network congestion in addition to having reached her data thresholdThe representative requested that Ms*** contact Viasat once she was on site for further troubleshootingWe apologize if Ms*** feels that her experience with Customer Care was not to our standards. At this time, in an offer of good faith, Viasat will agree to waive Ms*** full early termination fees should she choose to disconnectIf Ms*** would like to take advantage of this offer, she may contact Viasat’s 24-hour Customer Care department at 1-855-463-in reference to ticket no***. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

Thank you for bringing Mr***' complaint to our attentionThe Data Allowance Policy is meant to ensure all customers have equitable access to the network and that heavy usage by a small number of customers does not negatively impact the
network performance of all customersCustomers are made aware of ViaSat's Data Allowance Policy at the time of saleMr*** is currently receiving ViaSat's Exede GB service plan at $a month, plus applicable taxes and a $monthly equipment lease feeThis service plan offers a GB monthly data allowance, and is currently the highest service plan available in Mr***' areaViaSat's Freedom plan, which offers considerably more data (GB) per month than ViaSat's other service plan offerings, is currently only available in areas where ViaSat has the highest available capacity on its satellite beamsIn these areas, ViaSat can offer the Freedom plan without compromising service speed and qualityViaSat's goal is to offer as much data we can while keeping our network uncongested and speeds at or above Mbps; however, there are some technical hurdles that need to be overcome to be able to transition subscribers on a Classic Exede plan onto the Freedom plan in more areasThere is no defined timeline for when Freedom will be available in more areasMr*** was advised of this by ViaSat representatives during conversations on June 15, and June 30, Mr*** was also provided with a total of GB of free additional data as a gesture of goodwill due to the Freedom plan not being in his areaWe apologize for any frustration Mr*** may have experiencedThank you for the opportunity to respond
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/07/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Since when in America do other Americans enjoy less expensive service from a company than other Americans?
This reeks of price fixing and redlining that is discrimatory in nature
They admit to offering a 150GB plan to "select" customers paying less than what I pay for 25GBsThen turn around and offer to sell me as many GBs as I want for $a GB
The company rattles on about not allowing areas to receive more GBs due to beam flows and signal clarityHowever they are more to happy to sell you extra GBs at an extremely high price
So the companies responce really doesn't hold water in my eyes as they can give me a 150GB plan......it will just cost me $1,($for my plan and GBs and $1,for the extra GB at $a month
How can this not be considered price gouging? Other Americans dwelling within the continental USA are paying over 100% less than I am?????
I do believe that the ratio of fair exchange is way off in this equationmaybe if I was paying a 20% premium, but to pay over 100X more than others.......is price gouging
The Revdex.com was enacted to be a voice for disgruntled customersI would like my complaint to be escalated to a higher level within the Revdex.comI would like to have phone conference call with the Revdex.com and my attorney
Thank you for you time, but a companies unwillingness to be fair with all Americans should be examined much closer

Thank you for bringing Mr***’s complaint to ViaSat’s attentionWe apologize for any confusion or frustration this situation might have caused Our records show Mr*** contacted *** on February 23, to order *** service bundled with ViaSat’s internet serviceMr***’s ViaSat
services were installed on February 25, Unfortunately, purchasing ViaSat’s service with *** does not bundle the billing. ViaSat and *** handle customer billing for their own services and therefore, Mr*** is billed separately by ViaSat for Exede Internet service. On March 2, 2017, Mr*** contacted ViaSat to request the disconnection of his ViaSat accountDuring his conversation with the ViaSat representative, Mr*** was educated that per the Customer Agreement signed by himself on February 25, 2017, the early termination fees were applicableDue to this information, Mr*** requested to keep his account active In order to bring resolution to his complaint, and as a gesture of good faith, ViaSat will agree to disconnect Mr***’s ViaSat account with waiver of the early termination feesHowever, does not agree to refund for the charges collected for service renderedAdditionally, Mr*** is responsible for returning ViaSat’s modem and transceiver within days after disconnection, or he will be subject to an unreturned equipment fee of $300.00, not including taxes, per the Customer Agreement. A *** box with a prepaid return shipping label will be delivered to his home address within a week after her disconnection, and it will include return instructionsIf Mr*** has any additional questions or concerns, please have him contact ViaSat’s 24-hour Customer Service department at *** Thank you for the opportunity to respond

Thank you for bringing Mr***'s complaint to our attentionWe apologize for any confusion he *** have experienced with ViaSat
The Customer Agreement requires subscribers to commit to a 24-month minimum service term, and early termination
fees will apply if service is canceled prior to the minimum service termCustomers are reminded of the early termination fees at the time they elect to disconnect prior to the expiration of the minimum service termThe Customer Agreement also advises that customers are responsible for returning ViaSat's modem and transceiver within days after their disconnection, or they will be subject to an unreturned equipment fee of $300.00, not including taxesViaSat supplies customers with a UPS box with a free return shipping label and illustrated instructions within a week after their disconnection for the return of the equipment, which is delivered to either the address ViaSat has on file for the customer or to a requested alternate address
The Customer Agreement is electronically signed by customers during the service installation processAn account cannot be established without the customer's electronic signatureOur records show Mr***'s electronic signature on the Customer Agreement dated December 2, We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the electronic signature process
Our review of Mr***'s account shows that he contacted ViaSat on December 4, because he had been under the impression that ViaSat's minimum service term was months instead of monthsAt this time, the ViaSat representative educated Mr*** on ViaSat's 24-month minimum service term
ViaSat did not hear back from Mr*** until March 18, 2015, when he called to advise that he would be disconnecting his account on March 23, At this time, Mr*** was advised that he would need to call ViaSat on the date he wanted his account disconnectedMr*** was also reminded of ViaSat's 24-month minimum service term, the early termination fees, and the equipment lease return policy and procedure at this timeMr*** understood and agreed to these terms
On March 23, 2015, Mr***'s account was disconnected, per his requestViaSat has not had any further contact with him sinceDuring this conversation, Mr*** did request an address to where he could ship the equipment, but the ViaSat representative was unable to provide him with suchMr*** also advised the ViaSat representative that the UPS box with free return shipping label could be sent to the address ViaSat had on file for him
On April 4, 2015, ViaSat collected a payment of $from Mr*** for his early termination feesViaSat was notified on April 24, that Mr*** had not returned his modem and transceiverSubsequently, on *** 4, 2015, Mr*** was charged $in unreturned equipment fees; however, the payment failedMr***'s account was sent to outside collections on *** 19, for the balance due
ViaSat has not received any interaction or correspondence from Mr*** regarding any dissatisfaction he *** have had with ViaSat's automatic billing
As Mr*** was aware of his contractual terms and agreed to the early termination fees at the time of disconnection, ViaSat does not agree to issue him a refund for the payment of $he made on April 4,

Thank you for bringing Ms***'s complaint to ViaSat's attentionViaSat apologizes for any inconvenience this may have causedUpon further review of Ms***'s complaint, ViaSat has determined that Ms*** was charged $on July 8,

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not agree with the response as this company did not provide adequate service in the area where I live and when the technician came out to install the service he informed us of thisWe gave it a try and the service suckedWhen I called to disconnect I informed the customer service rep of my situation I was told and was under the understanding that the early termination fee would be waivedI was asked if I wanted to have a technician come out to check it out and I said noThe rep did not explain to me that me denying that service before the disconnect would make it so I would be charged early termination feeFor a company to not hold their employees who are supposed to relay this info to the customers is wrong and I wasn't even read the disclosure until I called to see why the early termination fee was taken out of my account without warningI got a text 4-hours after the money was taken out telling my bill was readyThis company is faulty and obviously don't treat the customers the way they shouldThey are rude and don't try to work with their customers to resolve situations that arise because their reps are not either trained to inform customers of such things or they just don't care to keep a good rep with the customersThis place is completely a scam and there internet service is a jokeI have made a complaint with direct tv as well and hopefully they stop referring their customers to themI will have to take this company to small claims now to get my money back and I will be advertising them on local television to inform other customers to not ever get service with themAs you can see they didn't only rip me off but also the other 400+ people on here that has filed a complaintThis place must be doing something wrong for this many complaints to happen and they should be investigated

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 8, 2015/09/18) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Because it took them so long to credit my bank account I incurred over in overdraft fee from my bank that VIASAT will not pay I have faxed my bank statement times and emailed it times Everytime I call or do the online chat they can't find it even though they sent an email stating they got it So the 1st time I emailed it and did the online chat to make sure they had gotten it (I can't call anymore because I am on the phone over minutes waiting to speak to a rep and then on the phone with them for over an hour while "corporate" is looking for the email) she said to send a statement that was from the day the debit was made on my account to the day it was credited back including the running balance I told her that I would be possibly incurring more overdraft fees because of the initial overdraft fee and she told me that they would only cover what occurred from they date they took the money to the day the credited the money She said to send a statement showing those dates I did that and now first they told me they couldn't find the email or faxes to resend it Now they are saying the statement I sent isn't right that I need to send a statement from 8/to 9/ When I told the rep I sent what was requested all she would say is sorry and they can't find the email I sent to resend it I think they are going to jack me around until I just give up on trying to get the $back on over draft fees I have done everything they have requested and they will NOT give me my money back I have also had to pay to fax the statement because the first times I called to see if they got it and guess what they didn't no one bothered to give me an email address to send it Finally on the call they gave me the email address but it still takes them over an hour to find it I am done sending them email and faxes they "don't" get and can't find I will be contacting my bank regarding fraud and what steps I need to take next

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I faxed my bank statement times and each time was told they did not receive it Finally I emailed the statement Not once did they call and tell me to send a different statement I was always the one who had to call in and wait on hold for plus minutes while the rep contacted corporate then only to be told the statement I sent wasn't the kind they wanted The rep gave me a date range that they wanted included on the statement so I sent the exact date range and assumed the issue would be dealt with Again I didn't get a call stating that they wanted yet another statement with different dates I had to call in after not receiving the refund Not once have a received a call from this company to apologize for all the issues caused by their mistake Instead I get "I understand you are frustrated Ms***" from the reps I have had to deal with The only apology I have gotten was the above response which is not an apology, it is
VIASAT trying to save face
