Complaint: I am rejecting this response because:I have called and spoken with numerous customer service representatives to explain to them that there is tablet in use, along with a cell phone used sometimes, and in no way can that explain the amount of high data usage in the amount of daysI use a cell phone for 30-days a month and do not even come close to 5GB of usageI need a COMPLETE breakdown of the data that is being used, along with the hours of usage, not just dates and percentages, before I will be completely satisfied with the closing of this complaintThe reason I have the 10GB plan is because that is TWICE the amount of data that I am allotted on my phone, which should be sufficient data for the entire monthI do not stream any TV shows or moviesMy son downloads games from the app store, which should only use about 1GB of data A MONTH, at mostUsing TimeWarner cable, doing the same amount of downloads/games and I was only using 8GB a month for over two years, now that I am unable to use TimeWarner Cable, I am forced into using Satellite internet which has been highly disappointing and I will never recommend the use of ViaSat to any person that asks about itThe customer service is poor, along with the servicePaying $a month for internet to use for 5-days at a time is not good business Sincerely, [redacted]

Thank you for bringing Mr [redacted] complaint to our attention.Viasat created the data usage meter for customers to monitor their monthly data allowance and provide them the information necessary to manage their data usage and stay within the data limits of their service planViasat consistently measures customer’s data usage and provides customer’s access to view his or her data usage through Viasat’s data usage meter available at www.account.viasat.com.Our records show Mr [redacted] is currently receiving Viasat’s Unlimited Data Silver Mbps service plan at $a month, plus applicable taxes and a $monthly equipment lease feeThe Unlimited Data Silver Mbps service plan provides unlimited data usage at regular speeds up to MbpsThe service is optimized for streaming at DVD quality or 480p.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, signed by Mr [redacted] on January 22, and Unlimited Data Policy available at exede.com/legal.On April 20, 2018, Mr [redacted] contacted Viasat in regards to his data usageMr [redacted] was advised that while he does have an unlimited amount of monthly data, after GB of usage, he could be prioritized behind other customers during periods of high usageA Viasat representative assisted Mr [redacted] in reviewing his data usage for the current and previous billing periodsAt the time, the Viasat representative noted nothing of concern with the data usage.Later that same day, Mr [redacted] contacted Viasat in regards to his previous callThe Viasat representative assisting Mr [redacted] reviewed his data usage and the devices connected to his Viasat leased modemAs Mr [redacted] stated there was a device connected that he did not recognize, the Viasat representative advised Mr [redacted] on changing his network password to ensure there was no unauthorized accessAt that time, it was determined that Mr [redacted] would contact Viasat ten days later in order to ensure the issue was resolved, and at that time, would be able to receive a credit for his inconvenience.? No further contact was received from Mr [redacted] until May 24, 2018, when Mr [redacted] contacted Viasat to request a refund for the month of service that had billed that dayMr [redacted] spoke with a Viasat supervisory representative, who reviewed Mr [redacted] account and offered a one-time $goodwill credit, as Viasat does not accept responsibility for a customer’s home network or any usage that may stem from an unprotected networkMr [redacted] accepted the credit, and it was applied to his account the same day.?
