Service cancelation headache
I have been a Viasat customer for about 5 years. I live in rural NC and we have no wired internet or even cell service where we live. For many years I had Hughes net and then I changed to Viasat. The service from Viasat was about as good as could be expected for standard satellite internet but a couple of months ago, I changed to Starlink and that is where my issues with Viasat arose. When I left Hughes net, they asked for their router back and I expected that from Viasat. But it turns out that Viasat also wants part of the satilite dish back as well. However the dish was installed where I cannot reach it. And I am disabled and am not able to climb a ladder to get to the part that they want. So I spoke to them and they said that if I did not send that back, I would be billed. Or they could send a technician out to take the part if I payed a fee of $95. My years of faithfully paying the $180 a month fee and the fact that I am disabled did not change any of that. I STRONGLY suggest that anyone considering Viasat think twice. Hughes net has similar service and is easier to work with and more considerate of their customers. Or Starlink may be a good option too. But I would sure avoid Viasat.
