Viasat Unleashed Max is Viasat’s new, top plan for the fully connected home, made possible by the new ViaSat-3 F2 satellite now in service. Unleased Max delivers unlimited high-speed satellite internet built for households that stream, work, game and connect a dozen or more devices at the same time. It pairs unlimited data with network priority, so the busiest homes get a more consistent experience, even when everyone is online at the same time.
For homes that run on the internet from morning to midnight, Unleashed Max is the plan that’s built to keep up when everything is happening at once. In this article, we’ll walk through what Unleashed Max includes, who it’s really for and how it differs from the rest of the Viasat plan lineup.
A satellite internet plan built for the fully connected home
Many households do fine with a standard internet service plan. But many of us have homes where someone is streaming in 4K while another person is on back-to-back video calls. Meanwhile, a console is downloading a game update and three or four smart-home devices are quietly working in the background.
That’s the home Unleashed Max was designed for.
Viasat offers three plans so you can match the service to how you use it day to day. Viasat Essentials covers budget-conscious users with basic needs. Viasat Unleashed meets the needs of the large majority of customers on the network. Unleashed Max is built for power users and heavy streamers with lots of devices and high data demands.
Prioritized performance, even at peak times
What really sets Unleashed Max apart is how it handles network priority. During busy periods, when many people are online at the same time, networks can slow down. Unleashed Max is built to handle a higher level of usage before you’d notice any congestion-related slowdown — meaningfully more usage to upload and download than with the standard Unleashed plan.
Viasat manages this with a proprietary system that monitors the network and adjusts capacity in real time, so most Unleashed Max customers won’t experience significant slowdowns during times of congestion.
To get that data to every corner of your home, the latest Viasat Unleashed plans include a Wi-Fi 6 router that’s optimized to deliver faster speeds to more devices simultaneously. In a house full of phones, laptops, TVs and smart devices, that’s the difference between a strong signal everywhere and a fight over bandwidth.
Unlimited High-Speed Data for everything at once
Stream, upload, download, back up, game and video-call as much as your household needs.

Unleashed Max profile: the streamer who also works from home
Meet Marcus. Most evenings he’s streaming live for a few hours, which consumes a steady stream of data the whole time. But Marcus also works from home as a video editor, so his days are full of pulling down large project files and uploading finished cuts back up to his team.
On a capped plan, all that uploading and downloading would chip away at a monthly limit — and the moment his household got busy, his work transfers and his evening stream would be competing for the same bandwidth.
But with Unleashed Max, the unlimited High-Speed Data means his big work files don’t count against an allotment, and network priority helps keep things consistent when the whole house is online. He gets a plan that better adapts to a heavy, mixed workload.
Viasat’s Active Traffic Management technology works behind the scenes so that the vast majority of customers can use the internet without significant slowdowns, even during peak hours. Unleashed Max is priced at $109.99/mo.* (introductory pricing for the first 12 months).
EasyCare included at no charge
Unleashed Max includes EasyCare at no extra cost for as long as you’re on the plan — a $9.99-per-month value built in. EasyCare is Viasat’s support and protection add-on, and on Unleashed Max it’s part of the plan package rather than an add-on. If you want more coverage, you can step up to EasyCare+ or EasyCare Premium at current pricing. It’s the worry-free layer for people who’d rather not think about their internet at all.
No long-term contract, free installation and a 12-month promo
Unleashed Max comes with no long-term contract, free professional standard installation and a 12-month $109.99/mo. promotional rate.* A professional technician handles setup, so it's done right from day one. Standard installation is free; non-standard installs, like a pole mount, may carry an additional charge. This makes it easy to step up to the top plan without locking into a long commitment — flexibility that's easy to appreciate if your needs change.
Is Unleashed Max right for you?
Not every household needs the top tier, and that’s the point of having a choice. Here’s a quick way to place yourself:
- Unleashed Max — for super users and heavy streamers with fully connected homes, lots of devices and high data demands who want prioritized performance.
- Viasat Unleashed — for families with moderate to high usage; it meets the needs of most customers on the network.
- Viasat Essentials — for budget-conscious users with basic internet needs.
If your evenings look like everyone-online-at-once, Unleashed Max is built for exactly that. If your usage is lighter, Unleashed likely has you covered for less.
