Thank you for bringing Mr*** rebuttal to our attention
Pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Customer Agreement signed by Mr*** on September 28, and available at www.exede.com/legal, customers agree to pay all applicable federal, state and local taxes, fees and surcharges related to the use of the service, provision of services, software or hardwareThe Annual Property Tax Recovery Fee is a fee ViaSat collects in order to recover the costs associated with paying property taxes on the leased equipment installed at a customer's home (modem, transceiver, antennae)This fee varies from county to county and state to state, and is based on the county in which a customer has service
We feel the resolution previously agreed to and the actions taken by ViaSat adequately address Mr*** complaintThank you for the opportunity to respond
Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/09/09) */
At the time of sale, customers are made aware of ViaSat's Data Allowance Policy, the 24-month minimum service term commitment, and early termination feesEach of these points is also addressed in the Customer Agreement signed by Ms*** on
August 7, and available at exede.com/legalViaSat does not offer a trial period The Customer Agreement is electronically signed by customers during the service installation process An account cannot be established without the customer's electronic signatureWe apologize if Ms*** feels these points were not communicated to her satisfaction, and for any misunderstanding regarding the electronic signature process
The 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 customersPursuant to the Data Allowance Policy, speeds may be slowed or restricted for a period of time when customers use their entire monthly system usageThis means that web pages and email will take significantly longer to load and most other internet activities will not work
Ms*** is currently receiving ViaSat's Exede Evolution GB plan at $a month plus a $monthly equipment lease fee This service plan offers unlimited access to web pages and email, and GB of monthly data for all other online activityWhile Ms*** can engage in the activities described in her plan usage details (e.g., streaming videos and music, web browsing, playing games, etc.), her activities are limited by the monthly data allowance of the plan she has purchased, pursuant to the Data Allowance Policy
ViaSat received a call from Ms*** on August 26, 2015, at which time she requested the disconnection of her accountThe ViaSat representative reminded Ms*** of her signed Customer Agreement, and advised that the early termination fees would be valid if she moved forward with the disconnection of her accountMs*** advised she'd call back, and chose not to move forward with the disconnection of her account at that time
As Ms*** has actively been using ViaSat's service, ViaSat does not agree to waive her early termination fees in fullIn order to come to a resolution to this complaint, however, ViaSat will agree to waive half of her early termination fees if she disconnects prior to October 8, Ms*** will be responsible for returning ViaSat's modem and transceiver within days after her disconnection, or she will be subject to an unreturned equipment fee of $300.00, not including taxes, per the Customer Agreement A UPS box with a free return shipping label will be delivered to her home address within a week after her disconnection, and will include illustrated instructions on what equipment she will need to return
If Ms*** would like to move forward with the disconnection of her account, she *** contact ViaSat's 24-hour Customer Service Department at X-XXX-XXX-XXXX in reference to ticket noXXXXXXXX

Thank you for bringing Mr***'s complaint to ViaSat's attentionWe apologize for any confusion or frustration this situation may have caused
Customers are made aware of ViaSat's Data Allowance Policy at the time of sale Our Data
Allowance Policy is addressed on the first page of the Customer Agreement, signed by Mr*** on May 27, 2015, and it is also available at exede.com/legal Pursuant to the Data Allowance Policy, speeds may be slowed or restricted for a period of time when customers use their entire monthly system usage
The 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 customers The most common causes for high usage are typically downloading or streaming media content (e.gonline videos, music, and internet radio), downloading full-length movies, and downloading or uploading large files
Mr*** contacted ViaSat on June 4, to discuss the Data Allowance Policy and to discuss the disconnection of his ViaSat accountDuring his conversation with the ViaSat representative Mr*** was advised of the policy, the early termination fees that would apply should he disconnect, and the options to upgrade his account to the GB plan with dollars off for monthsPer his request, Mr***'s account was subsequently disconnected
Understanding the information provided by Mr***, and in order to bring this complaint to a resolution, ViaSat will agree to remove Mr***'s account from the outside collections processThe request for the removal of $was made on August 11, Should Mr*** have any further questions please have him contact the outside collections agency, EOS
Thank you for the opportunity to respond
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
It has been business days since the 28th of December and no refund has been collected I never stated that I could not access my system at all, I stated that my equipment keeps power cycling causing me to lose connection for at least minutes each time it power cycles it self as well as constant slow speeds and connectivity problems
I called the provided and gave the ticket # and representative stated my refund should be available now but it is not and I also inquired about the total price of terminating service since Viastat stated "ViaSat will however agree to disconnect the account with waive of half the early termination fees of approximately $105.00, not including taxes" however the representative stated she could not tell me an exact amount with taxes but that it would be $plus tax so the company is not actually offering to waive half of that feeShe also stated at first that I would also have to pay another monthly bill of approximately $but once I questioned disconnecting service before my billing date being I paid a month in advance when starting my service she said if I disconnect on or by the 27th of January I would not be billed that additional approximate $on termination So I need someone from Viastat to give me accurate information as well as an actual cost to terminate early
Thank you for bringing Ms*** complaint to ViaSat's attentionWe apologize for any confusion or frustration this situation may have caused
ViaSat's service plans are differentiated based on the amount of data for the service plan and each service plan is governed by a data allowance
policy The Data Allowance Policy applicable to Ms*** plan 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 saleIt is also addressed on the first page of the Customer Agreement, signed by Ms***, the account holder, on June 26, (also available at exede.com/legal)
Pursuant to the Data Allowance Policy, speeds may be slowed or restricted for a period of time when customers use their entire monthly system usageCustomers have the choice to purchase additional data under ViaSat's Buy More option at $per GB on an as-needed basis, but are not required to do soAlternatively, customers may utilize ViaSat's Late Night Free Zone from 12:AM to 5:AM, local time, during which unmetered service is provided at no extra cost
Ms*** contacted ViaSat's customer service department on October 10, to request the disconnection of her ViaSat accountHowever, during her conversation with ViaSat's representative, the call ended before the disconnection could occur to phone issuesMs*** did not make contact with ViaSat again until December 4, to request the disconnection of her accountDue to this ViaSat continued to attempt to bill Ms*** her monthly service plan charges
In order to bring this complaint to resolution and as a gesture of good faith, ViaSat will agree to waive the past due balance of $for the October and November monthly service chargesHowever, Ms*** is responsible for the $for the early termination fees as she never made ViaSat aware of any issues she was experiencing with her service and per the Customer AgreementA credit has been applied to Ms*** account for the $121.16, and she may contact ViaSat's customer service department at 855-463-to resolve the balance owed of $

Thank you for bringing Ms***'s complaint to our attentionWe apologize for any confusion she *** have experienced regarding ViaSat's service
The Customer Agreement, signed by Ms*** on June 19, and available at
exede.com/legal, states that speeds *** vary and are not guaranteedDue to the nature of satellite-based internet service, there are many variables that can affect speeds, such as weather at the gateway or customer's home, network congestion, as well as the customer's computer equipmentSpeeds can also be affected by programs that are running in the background, the router, and day-to-day activity
The 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 sale; it is addressed on the first page of the Customer AgreementPursuant to the Data Allowance Policy, speeds *** be slowed or restricted for a period of time when customers use their entire monthly system usageThe most common causes for high usage are typically downloading or streaming media content (e.gonline videos, music, and internet radio), downloading full-length movies, and downloading or uploading large filesCustomers have the choice to purchase additional data under ViaSat's Buy More option at $per GB on an as-needed basis, but are not required to do soAlternatively, customers *** utilize ViaSat's Late Night Free Zone from 12:AM to 5:AM, local time, during which unmetered service is provided at no extra cost
Ms*** is currently receiving ViaSat's Evolution GB service plan at $a month, plus applicable taxes and a $monthly equipment lease feeThis service plan provides customers with download speeds up to Mbps and upload speeds up to MbpsAs Ms*** ordered this service plan through DirecTV during a promotional period, she is receiving GB of data per month for the first months of service
Ms*** contacted ViaSat on June 19, to inquire about her data usage, at which time she was educated on the Data Allowance PolicyOn June 23, 2015, Ms*** called back in because she was experiencing slow speedsDuring this conversation, the ViaSat representative guided Ms*** through troubleshooting; however, the speeds still did not meet Ms***'s satisfactionShe advised the ViaSat representative that she was having a computer technician to come out to look over her computer, and would call back if she experienced any further issues
ViaSat received another call from Ms*** on July 3, regarding the speed of her serviceAt this time, the ViaSat representative guided Ms*** through troubleshooting, during which a speed test was performed on her systemThe results of the speed test determined that Ms*** was receiving speeds that were within range of ViaSat's advertised speedsMs*** was also advised that having multiple devices connected to her service could cause her to see degradation in her speedsOur review of Ms***'s account as of July 9, shows that she has had six separate devices connected to her network since the installation of her service
Ms*** called ViaSat on July 4, to inquire about disconnecting her serviceAt this time, the ViaSat representative reminded Ms*** of her signed Customer Agreement, 24-month minimum term, and advised that if she were to move forward with the disconnection of her service, she would be charged early termination feesMs*** informed the representative that she would call back on July 19, to disconnect her service

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (2000, 7, 2015/07/13) */
(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I feel this is a fair resolution to the complaint
However, just to clarify, I was not told about the GB until After the installation was complete by the tech and then when I wanted to call the company to get clarification he was in a big hurry to get on to his next jobHe said he had more to install so I felt very rushed to sign something I never should have signedMy fault!!! I was told I would receive 15GB for months and then 5GB for the remaining months of the contract not months as stated aboveWe had no idea how many GB we would use in a month as I'm sure most homeowners do not knowWe were advised that we used up our 15GB in the first weeks of usage
Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me
I wish to add that we have not received any verification from these folks and when I called and visited with one of their representatives last week she still insisted that she could not allow a creditTheir statement about *** vs *** is absolutely incorrectI can verify that their package service was ***This company is very flakey when it comes to their wordI will not work with them againI will give them credit that their services Wildblue and Exede deliver good internet and satellite phoneI give them stars for that but their business workings are not acceptable
Sincerely,

Thank you for bringing Mr***' complaint to our attentionWe apologize for any frustration this situation may have caused him to experience
Section of the Customer Agreement signed by Mr*** on April 13, (also available at
exede.com/legal) states, "ViaSat will not provide a pro-rata refund for any pre-paid fees regardless of when your service is terminated." Customers are advised of this when they elect to disconnect their account
Our records show ViaSat collected a payment of $for monthly service from Mr*** on August 16, Mr*** called in the next day, August 17, to disconnect his account, at which time he was reminded of the information as stated aboveUpon Mr***' request, the ViaSat representative escalated a refund request for the amount, but advised him that there was no guarantee it would be approvedThe refund request was rejected on August 23, for being invalid
On August 21, 2015, Mr*** called in to ask if his service could be reconnected for the month of service he'd paidAt this time, the ViaSat representative explained to Mr*** that reestablishing service required customers to agree to a new 24-month minimum service term, per ViaSat's policy, and that it was not possible for his account to be reestablished for just a month of service
In order to come to a resolution to this complaint, ViaSat will agree to refund the payment of $to Mr***This refund has been issued to this payment method as of August 25, 2015, and will take approximately 3-business days from the issue date to be deposited into his account
