Here in eastern North Carolina, we can only get "Speeds up to 12Mbps" and it gets throttled after 35 or 40 GB of data. Per the not so small print just below the pricing:
Depending on the specific unlimited data service plan available at your location, after you use the following amount of data, we may prioritize your data behind other customers during network congestion: Bronze 12 (35 GB or 40 GB, depending on your specific plan); Silver 12 (45 GB), Gold 12 (65 GB), Silver 25 (60 GB), Gold 50 (100 GB), and Platinum 100 (150 GB). "Prioritize behind other customers" is a shrewd definition of throttling! All plans require 24 month commitment and $10/month equipment lease fee and are subject to taxes. Speeds and video streaming quality are "up to," are not guaranteed and may vary. Service is not available in all areas. So, this 12Mbps (Vs our 25Mbps service) costs $100 plus $10 equipment lease fee plus applicable taxes AND a two year contract (Vs our $59/mo EVERYTHING included and NO contract). And, you can stream HD video all month long on our plan. Only good thing that Viasat2 offers is that it come from the sky and trees will not stop it, but the rain can.
