To build your account, ViaSat requires information from you to verify a good credit standing. ViaSat pays our installer to perform a standard install of your equipment at no cost to you. A 24 month service agreement is required, along with the credit check.
If you prefer to NOT have a 24 month agreement OR NOT have your credit checked, we do have provisions for that, just give us a call.
Additionally, the $10 monthly equipment fees can be paid up front for a "lifetime no-equipment lease" option. Just give us a call for your options.
We request some help from you in providing details concerning your home-sites view of the 133 degree view of the sky, where the satellite is located. We use google maps to do this and may request a picture or two from you using your smart phone (they are handy devices aren't they?) This prevents a service call to 'look over your site' (which is $95) if you want us to come out for that purpose, [usually not necessary]. Your phone even has a built in compass app, so you can precisely find 133 degrees! We can easily help you with this over the phone, if needed.
Some good points:
Plans can be changed (by you) up or down using your ViaSat application on your smart phone.
No fees to change your plan up or down, for any length of time--a great way to try out the differences in each plan, main difference: how sharp your streaming pictures will be on a large screen TV.

Disappointing video quality on your giant-size TV?
- Filling all of that screen real estate takes a lot of pixels (bandwidth). Try upping your monthly plan to upgrade your video quality from 360p all the way to 1080p [Blu Ray quality dvd]. Do this anytime for as long as you'd like to 'check it out', and pay for only the time you are on that plan (pro-rata). No phone call or new equipment needed, just your VIASAT APPLICATION for your smartphone, and your created account. Log-in and check out all your features and control.
- Also, see how much bandwidth you are consuming, relative to the expected bandwidth included in your plan (*see chart), with a glance at your APP. One hour of streaming video will consume about 1 GigaByte of data at 480p DVD quality, and much more at 720p or 1080p. Bandwidth is KING for video quality (clarity).
Reliability? ViaSat is designed to stay connected throught all kinds of bad weather and storms, always.
