Thank you for bringing Mr. [redacted] complaint to our attention. The Customer Agreement provided to each new customer, and signed by [redacted] on December 20, 2017 and also available at exede.com/legal, 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 Mr. [redacted] is currently receiving Viasat’s Unlimited Data Silver 25 service plan at $150 a month, plus Viasat’s EasyCare program at $5.99 monthly, applicable taxes and a $9.99 monthly equipment lease fee. The Unlimited Data Silver 25 service plan provides unlimited data usage at regular speeds up to 25 Mbps. The service is optimized for streaming at DVD quality or 480p. Viasat’s unlimited data service plans do not have a monthly data allowance. Pursuant to Viasat’s Unlimited Data Policy available at www.exede.com/legal, if a customer uses more than 150 GB of data during their monthly billing period, Viasat may prioritize their data behind other customers during network congestion, which will result in slower speeds. Starting 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 150 GB threshold. At the end of the monthly measurement period, the data usage resets to zero. Customers 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. Mr. [redacted] first contacted Viasat on December 24, 2017 in regards to his first month’s bill. Mr. [redacted] requested a refund due to the fact that he was told he would only pay $109, and the Viasat representative who assisted Mr. [redacted] advised of the prorated charges involved. Mr. [redacted] indicated that he would contact Viasat again to speak with a supervisor. On December 30, 2017, Mr. [redacted] contacted Viasat regarding the speeds of his plan. Mr. [redacted] was reporting download speeds of 2.07 Mbps. The Viasat representative assisting him reviewed Mr. [redacted] account and a speed test revealed that Mr. [redacted] speeds were within the range for the service plan. Mr. [redacted] contacted Viasat on January 19, 2018 due to the fact that he believed he was being throttled after using over 150 GB. The Viasat representative correctly advised of the unlimited plan policies and that if Mr. [redacted] chose to disconnect, his early termination fees would be valid. The call disconnected, and no changes were made to Mr. [redacted] account. On January 20, 2018, Mr. [redacted] contacted Viasat to request a stop date of his payment method on file. This has been completed as of January 22, 2018. In a gesture of good faith, Viasat will agree to waive half of Mr. [redacted] early termination fees should he choose to disconnect his account. Mr. [redacted] will be responsible for returning Viasat’s modem and transceiver within 30 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 her home address within a week after her disconnection, and it will include return instructions. Viasat does not agree to refund Mr. [redacted] first month of service.
