Frequently asked Questions about adding more High-Speed Data with Data Boost:
If you use all of your High-Speed Data during a bill cycle, you will automatically be switched over to unlimited Standard Data. Standard Data may give you a slower connection when the network is congested. If you’d like to continue using High-Speed Data, you have the ability to add more to your plan if you want a little boost before the end of your billing period.
Similar to many cellphone plans, most of Viasat’s unlimited data plans come with unlimited Standard Data and a limited amount of High-Speed Data. If you use all that High-Speed Data, you still have unlimited Standard Data. The only change you may notice will occur if the network is congested; your speeds may be slowed. If that happens, you may want to buy more High-Speed Data.
If you’re on the right plan for your needs, you shouldn’t need to buy more data every month. But in some circumstances, even a temporarily slower connection may not be desirable.
Typically, our customers only buy more data when they’re close to exceeding their monthly High-Speed Data amount. Some other reasons might include:
-
You have particularly heavy work or school projects that require more time online than usual
-
Guests are visiting, and more devices than usual are connecting to your network
-
There’s a new sci-fi movie out that you’d like to stream in HD
