150 GB Freedom Plan is back in Exede low fill beams

The Freedom Plan is back in Exede low fill beams. The 150 GB a month data plan is a hit with rural internet users that want to access Netflix and other high usage data services.

But we are not out of the Bandwidth Woods yet. Viasat has reserved the right to throttle you back, or even terminate your service if you regularly go over the 150 data limit.

FREEDOM PLANS
If you use greater than 150 GB of data during your monthly billing period, your web and email speeds may not be slower, but other types of internet use, including video streaming, will be slower until the end of your monthly billing period. When our network is busy, you will have lower priority on our network until the end of your monthly billing period. This may result in slower speeds when the network is busy. ViaSat may contact you and request that you reduce your monthly usage below 150 GB or transition to another service plan. If you do neither, ViaSat may terminate your service, per the Bandwidth Usage Policy . Service is for residential and non-commercial use.

So life is not perfect in the satellite internet world, but we are pleased with the increased data caps that are being offered in some areas, and are looking forward to the launch of the new satellite in 2017.
