Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Exede never completed their “detailed investigation” into the source of data usage or provide we used the data, after claiming they would for over a month.? They made accusations against the accuracy of router data usage monitoring without providing any proof to their claims.? We reject their claims that we are the source of the data usage at the rate of 18GB in less than 24hrs.? Data usage at that rate is not consistent with our typical data usage, our equipment was monitored or shutoff, our router showed a fraction of data usage claimed by Exede, they indicated machines that are not on our network, they claimed software (peer-to-peer) being used that we do not have.We will terminate use of this internet service provider as soon as alternate arrangements can be made Sincerely, [redacted]

Thank you for bringing Mr [redacted] ’s complaint to ViaSat’s attentionWe apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused It is our goal to provide Mr [redacted] with the best internet experience possibleHowever, due to the nature of satellite-based internet service, there are many variables that can affect speeds, such as, weather at the gateway or customer’s home, network congestion, as well as the customer’s computer equipmentSpeeds can also be affected by programs that are running in the background, the use of virtual private networks, the router and the activities a customer engages in on the internetSome of these variables are outside of ViaSat’s control; therefore, it is important to ViaSat that customers are made aware that speeds are not guaranteed and may varyThis is why ViaSat uses the “up to” language in its advertisements, and also disclosed to customers at the point of sale and in its Customer Agreement that speeds may vary and are not guaranteedViaSat understands that the service may not be meeting Mr [redacted] ’s needs or expectations, so in order to arrive at a resolution ViaSat will waive the early termination fees from the account should Mr [redacted] wish to disconnectMr [redacted] will need to contact customer care at ###-###-#### and reference ticket number [redacted] During this call the disclosures will be read and Mr [redacted] will be advised that he needs to send back two pieces of equipment using a prepaid shipping label and box that ViaSat supplies once the account is disconnectedViaSat will not remove the part without a service call chargeShould the equipment not be sent back there will be a charge of $for each non-returned pieceThank you for allowing ViaSat the opportunity to respond

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Sincerely, [redacted] ***? Per the response received from ViaSat, [redacted] did not sign anything at anytime in conjunction with the order for services, the installation of services or at any other time? After receiving my confirmation letter from DirecTV which stated I initiated the request for services, and after the technician installed the services, I signed the documentation with my signature, not [redacted] , I believe that ViaSat continuously fabricates their information? I wish to see the documentation they have with [redacted] signature and not mine? ? To further assist in complaints against ViaSat, we did agree after discussions with ViaSat, to keep the account in [redacted] 's name? We have been totally dis-satisfied with the quality of service provided by ViaSat? The installation technician stated we would not have any problem connecting in our bedroom, We never got satisfactory service in the bedroom? We constantly complained about slow internet speed, we signed up for speed up to Mbps and constantly was seeing speeds in and around 5-Mbps? On the 9th we were informed that we had expended our GBs of data and thus we would not see an increase in speed until after the next billing cycle? On at least one occasion, I specifically requested to speak with a supervisor and was informed that the supervisor refused to speak to me? ? I do not intend to disconnect the service, vice I will continue to hound customer service to try and receive the service that we are paying for? I will further continue to complain with the Revdex.com if the service remains substandard? I will, however insist that they remove their advertising signage from being proximal to my property? I do not wish to advertise for a company with such shoddy customer service and poor quality of service that they are providing? If we provided the type of customer service that they are providing, I would be forced to close the doors to my business within days.? ?
