Thank you for bringing Ms [redacted] complaint to ViaSat’s attentionWe apologize for any inconvenience this may have causedIt is our goal to provide Ms [redacted] with the best internet experience possible.? However, due 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 equipment.? Speeds can also be affected by programs that are running in the background, the use of virtual private networks, the router and the activities a customer engages in on the internet.? Some of these variables are outside of ViaSat’s control; therefore, it is important to ViaSat that customers are made aware that speeds are not guaranteed and may vary.? This is why ViaSat uses the “up to” language in its advertisements, and also disclosed to customers at the point of sale and in its Customer Agreement that speeds may vary and are not guaranteed.? ? ? ? At the time of sale customers are made aware of ViaSat’s Data Allowance Policy, the 24-month minimum service term commitment, and the early termination feesEach of these points are also addressed in the customer agreement signed by Ms [redacted] on July 29, and available at [redacted] We apologize if Ms [redacted] feels these points were not communicated to her satisfactionViaSat has attached the signed customer agreement for Ms [redacted] viewingThe Customer Agreement signed by Ms [redacted] on July 29, authorizes ViaSat to charge a credit card or initiate electronic funds transfers from a checking account for automatic monthly payments for any fees including monthly service fees and equipment lease fees.? If we are unable to process your automatic payment at any time and we do not receive electronic payment from the customer by the due date, the account may be immediately suspended and the customer will remain responsible for all amounts payable by the customer to us.? The Customer Agreement also states that monthly fees are payable each month in advance and such monthly fees will apply for each and every month (or portion of a month) that you are a subscriberIf the customer’s account is suspended for a partial month, they are still responsible for the full month of service.? ViaSat does not agree to waive the early termination fees from the account and no refunds will be issued as the services were usedShould Ms [redacted] wish to disconnect she can contact customer service by phone at ###-###-#### to have the account disconnectedViaSat does not accept written correspondence/email as a form of disconnectionThank you for allowing ViaSat the opportunity to respond Tell us why here

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:I think the resolution agreed by Viasat does not meet my expectationsI still do not understand why a customer with a new and unknown service, does not have a minimum period of time to decide whether to stay with a service or to give up freely without such a high costI was never informed at the time of the sale the minimum commitment of Service for months, nor of the rates of early cancellation, everything was said to me at the moment of requesting the cancellationI tried to improve the service and the solution was to go to the Free Zone schedule from at night to in the morningImpossible solution for people who study and work throughout the day like my family and meAn Internet company that provides an excellent service and knows, does not have any problem for their customers to try their product because they know that they will stay with the service, but a company that does not guarantee the best and knows that the customer is going to have complaints, can not give any trial period, would be absurd, the company would not exist, would go bankrupt, so go to the drastic measure of all or nothing with no time to try and decideI insist that this is a great abuse on the part of Viasat because the safe dissatisfaction with the service would have a high cost, either monetary, or the maintenance of a service that does not satisfy the customer for long months (years) Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:The complaint was not about the amount of money, As I wroteThe complaint was about the lack of information, and no final document, closing the account I wish that the respondent had read my complaint Sincerely, [redacted]

I have monitored my usage on my devices with software that always shows less usage than they do!

Per ViaSat above Any large downloading or uploading is always done between 12pm-5am where it is unlimitedThat is always where the discrepancy shows upThere have been many of these same issues found where in fact the provider is at faultBecause of the FAP policy they can always dictate it is correct and you need to buy more data or cancelIf I had landline DSL or broadband this would be a moot point and they know itThey would always suggest I upgrade the account! I have had better things to do with my time that argue with ViaSat hours a week over the last few monthsThey would actually owe me over $in credits based on my lost time and wagesThey already offered an upgrade for one year but declined to do this because of supposed file sharing operations mentioned aboveSo their goodwill was neither good or beneficialIf they offered additional bandwidth or or a discount on my current plan I would work with them Best regards, [redacted] Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 14, 2015/06/26) */ Upon review of Mr [redacted] 's account ViaSat does show that he made contact on June 15, with our corporate care representativeOn this date, ViaSat's customer service representative advised Mr [redacted] that he could upgrade his account to the 15GB for the 10GB pricingIf Mr [redacted] would still like to take this offer, please have him contact customer service and reference ticket XXXXXXXXWe apologize for the confusion regarding this informationThank you!

Thank you for bringing Mr. [redacted] 's complaint to our attention. We apologize for any frustration he may have experienced with ViaSat.At the time of sale, customers are made aware of ViaSat’s 24-month minimum service term, early termination fees, and auto-billing. Each of these points is further... addressed in ViaSat’s Customer Agreement. All ViaSat dealers are contractually required to make customers aware of these points at the time of sale. We apologize if these points were not communicated to Mr. [redacted] at the point of sale. The Customer Agreement is electronically signed by customers during the service installation process. An account cannot be established without the customer’s electronic signature. Our records show Mr. [redacted] ’s electronic signature on the Customer Agreement dated May 24, 2016. On May 28, 2016, ViaSat attempted to collect a payment of $77.75 from Mr. [redacted] for his monthly service fees, but the payment failed. Subsequently, on June 8, 2016, the account was suspended for nonpayment. A successful one-time payment for the amount was made by Mr. [redacted] the same day. ViaSat charged Mr. [redacted] for monthly service again on June 28, 2016 in the amount of $70.68; once again, the payment failed and the account was suspended on July 8, 2016. On August 10, 2016, Mr. [redacted] called ViaSat to disconnect, stating that he had not been informed of ViaSat’s automatic billing process or ViaSat’s 24-month minimum service term. He also informed the representative that he had attempted to discuss his concerns with the authorized dealer he had purchased service through, but had been unsuccessful. At this time, a request to have the matter reviewed was escalated. On August 18, 2016, Mr. [redacted] ’s complaint was further escalated to the dealer for review. The dealer responded to ViaSat’s inquiry on August 29, 2016, and advised that Mr. [redacted] had been informed of all points at the time of sale. Mr. [redacted] contacted ViaSat on September 1, 2016 regarding the balance due and the status of the account. At this time, Mr. [redacted] was informed that his account had been suspended for nonpayment of service. As Mr. [redacted] wanted to disconnect the account with no early termination fees, he requested to speak to a supervisor. During his conversation with the ViaSat supervisor, Mr. [redacted] was informed of the results of ViaSat’s investigation, at which time he ended the conversation. On November 3, 2016, Mr. [redacted] ’s account was disconnected for nonpayment of service; subsequently, on November 28, 2016, ViaSat charged him an additional $268.50 in early termination fees. This payment failed and was added to the balance due, creating a total amount owed of $339.18. The account was sent to outside collections on December 28, 2016. Mr. [redacted] called the same day regarding the early termination fees. At this time, the ViaSat representative escalated Mr. [redacted] ’s early termination fee waiver request to a supervisor, who determined the charge was valid. ViaSat received another call from Mr. [redacted] on January 6, 2017, at which time the collections balance was discussed. As resolution to this complaint, ViaSat will agree to waive Mr. [redacted] ’s early termination fees of $268.50 in full; however, Mr. [redacted] is responsible for resolving the balance due of $70.68 charged on June 28, 2016. He may make this payment either directly through ViaSat or via the collections agency. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

Thank you for bringing Ms [redacted] ? complaint to Viasat’s attentionWe apologize for any issues she may have experienced? Our records show Ms [redacted] was receiving Viasat’s Liberty - Boost + WiFi service plan at $59.99, plus applicable taxes and a $monthly lease feeThe Customer Agreement signed by Ms [redacted] on November 04, and available at exede.com/legal, states that Viasat does not provide a refund for unused services regardless of when an account is disconnected? Ms [redacted] contacted Viasat on November 12, to request information regarding her monthly usageDuring this conversation, Ms [redacted] was educated on her usage and ways to saveMs [redacted] did not contact Viasat again until December 12, ? ? Viasat collected $for the monthly services on December 8, ? On December 12, 2017, Viasat received contact from Ms [redacted] who requested the disconnection of her Viasat accountThe Viasat representative offered a free month of service; however, Ms [redacted] declined this offered and requested to disconnect that day ? In order to bring this complaint to resolution, and as a gesture of good faith, Viasat will agree to refund Ms [redacted] the unused services of $to the payment method on fileThe refund should be received by Ms [redacted] within three to five business daysHowever, Viasat does not agree to waive the early termination fees of approximately $165.00, not including taxes ?

If she has any additional questions or concerns, please have her contact Viasat’s 24-hour Customer Service Department at 1-855- 463- ? Thank you for the opportunity to respond?

? Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: What Via Stat is true, they fail to mention that yes they did give us extra data allowance because we did indeed run over which was further rectified by upgrading to the more expensive plan which again did now work adequately for me to view my on-line college lectures even when data was not an issue.? I will note, we were unable to streamline even with full data.? How many times did we need to call to have the system "rebooted" which had nothing to do with the data allowance.? As far a breach contract, yes I did because I felt ViaStat breached their contract to me first Sincerely, [redacted] ***
