Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
How very nice of Ms*** to call me a liar. I spoke to the sales department at least twice while I was researching the various satellite companies, including *** and ***. Once I decided *** was the only one offering unlimited internet, even at such a high price, I went online and ordered it. Then I ordered it for my father as well. The installers came, went over the paper work, assured me there were no caps for my internet, but explained that if my father went over his limit on his plan, he would be slowed down. I asked them again, and they said I was Unlimited I do not want to disconnect my service, even though it is still running slow after they took $from my account on April 4. They are not providing the 25mbps which is what I signed up forI want them to change their advertising, as noted by dozens of other complaints on their facebook page. I want them to provide the unlimited service I signed up forThey need to make it clear it is NOT unlimited and caps at 150G, then slows down to almost nothing. The advertising has hurt my business. I want the high speed they promised, and I would prefer customer service people who did not call me a liar. She is clearly the liar, and trying to spin the company's advertising her way. Nothing in my paperwork from *** mentioned capping me at G. It worked fine for the first two months, then suddenly Viasat took over and everything changed.
Sincerely,
*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I signed a contract to get serviceI expect something in writing, telling me that the contract has been satisfactorily ended. Does any other business suggest that a voice over the phone line is a legal ending to a contract? If so, I'd like to know about it. My next step is probably going to be looking at the ramifications
Sincerely,
*** ***
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: You have broken the contract with me because I am not allowed to move my original contract service to my new location without buying a New expensive service with you which is braking my service contract with youSo no matter how different (more expensive) your new service is from my original contract that you will not honor, I am to agree to your new service or leave myour internet connection inot a house that I nof longer live in or pay forced early conciliation fees This sounds like a class actionThank you for braking my contract agreementRevdex.com, Thank you for your timeI will share my experience with everyone I know to save others from this scam.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I previously filed a report with Revdex.com for NUMEROUS reasons about months ago describing the horrible business practices that exede had shown me and named many, many reasons why I was filing the reportAfter filing the report, I was approached by an exede employee who offered for me to cancel my service and to waive the early termination feesI agreed to thatHe gave me a reference number to give the customer service representative when cancelling my account to waive the early termination feesWhich I didAfter asking the representative NUMEROUS times if the fees were waived, he reassured me NUMEROUS times that they were in fact waivedAwesomeMy year long nightmare experience with exede was finally overOnly it wasn'tweeks later I happened to be looking at my bank statement only to find a charge from exede internet for $on 12/24/2016, weeks AFTER I had cancelled my accountUpon calling them to figure out why they took $from me, they informed me that it was for the early termination feeThe early termination fee that I had been assured and reassured numerous times was not going to be charged to meSo not only does the representative lie to me saying that I wouldnt be charged an early termination fee, but they still feel entitled to go behind my back and into my bank account and take my money weeks after I cancel my service with them and after they promised and assured me that my early termination fee would be voidedThis was all done with absolutely NO warningMeaning that I never received any email, no phone call, no letter in the mail, nothingThey just took my money.I now had to take time out of my day at work to call them to figure out why I was charged, and also time to call my bank to block any further charges that exede may feel entitled to without telling me. Give me back the money from my bank account that you unrightfully stole from me with no warning or explanation

After calling in four times in a single day I was finally given a work order number, however it was my original work order from initial service connectionWhen I called back in on the 31st of December I explained to the representative the trouble I was having and they transferred me directly to the move and reconnect team where I was finally able to get my service transfer put in and was given a work order number that I promptly verified with the installer directly

Sir or Ma'am:
Please know that I do not use VPN (Virtual Private Networks), but they are good for security and are not an influencer of usage
If somebody can provide me more information on the "35GB upload" it will assist me in trouble shooting Was the 35GB to one location, multiple, or what? Perhaps you can give me a point of contact at ViaSat to assist me I asked the help desk staff, but they barely have the ability to enter and configure the satellite modem Maybe there is a Tier II help desk
The router has a complex, sixteen character password
