Steven Mesnick, general manager of U.S. broadband at Viasat, commented, “With the launch of these New Choice home internet plans, we are introducing a new satellite internet experience to help meet the evolving needs of residential consumers. By optimizing our satellite network, we expect to deliver more data at faster speeds, more consistently. These speeds will enable us to provide the experience that our customers desire.

The Company’s next-generation satellite constellation, ViaSat-3, is expected to be capable of delivering even greater bandwidth capabilities that will result in more speed, data and streaming options. Viasat has received various accolades from consumer outlets including being named the ‘Fastest Satellite Internet Provider’ among U.S. rural internet service providers (ISPs) by CNET and receiving the Best for High Speeds designation by ZDNet.
