1The Viasat Unleashed and Viasat Unleashed Max plans each come with unlimited data. If at any time your data usage is trending to exceed the "typical usage" of Viasat Unleashed or Viasat Unleashed Max customers on our network, as applicable to your plan, you may have reduced priority during times of network congestion resulting in slower speeds. Typical usage represents the data usage of 70% of Viasat Unleashed and Viasat Unleashed Max customers on our network. Please visit www.viasat.com/legal to review Viasat's Unlimited Data Policy for more details. The Viasat Essentials plan comes with 150 GB of High-Speed Data and Unlimited Standard Data. After you use 150 GB of High-Speed Data, you will continue to receive unlimited data (referred to as "Standard Data"); however, Viasat may prioritize Standard Data behind other customers during network congestion, which will result in slower speeds.
2Hughesnet plans come with unlimited Standard Data, but a set amount of Priority Data.
3Viasat Unleashed plans do not require an annual contract, which means there is no minimum service term commitment. You will have a month-to-month service term, which you may cancel at any time without an early termination fee.
