<title>New Exede customers, please post</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26819987</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was a beta customer for WB early on, and stayed with them for 2 years until 3G became available.  Now, with the new Exede service, I am actually thinking about going back.  Yes, I have a 50G package on 3G for $30 per month, but speeds are lacking and I really only use about 5GB per month.

If there are any NEW Exede users out there, please post your thoughts, reviews, etc. of the speed.  I am very aware of the latency issues, etc, but am not a gamer and I don't use VOIP.

Thanks!

<title>New &#x26;amp;quot;Data Allowance&#x26;amp;quot; packages</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26644227</link>
<description><![CDATA[Plan 1 $49.99 7.5 GB cap
Plan 2 $79.99 15 GB cap
Plan 3 $129.99 25 GB cap

This is what is rumored to be the new data allowances. It gets even better. It is also said that this is DL & UL combined. If they come out with these packages I will laugh all the way to my local Hughesnet installer. Then I will laugh again when Hughesnet buries them. Seriously I hope this is a joke, because these caps are a joke. They better come out with something better than that, because Hughesnet is bringing something better than that to the table right now without Jupiter. Their idea of revolutionizing satellite technology is shaving 2GB off the $79.99 package and on top of that making the upload count against it too? Are they nuts? I am seriously hoping the people posting this have got wrong information, because these packages are utter and complete crap.

<title>[installer] Bear River, WY</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26830547</link>
<description><![CDATA[Second one for this area... I had a few customers check into this and apparently the new gear is still going in VERY few and far between.  

Hearing some conflicting info though, as a prospective customer was told it's only available to existing customers right now, and an existing customer was told the exact opposite... 

Again, install went quite a bit smoother than the "legacy" setup, and speeds look a little more promising.

<description><![CDATA[ViaSat promised new rollouts on Jan 16th.  What's wrong?

the EXEDE shows no new activity, and neither does Wildblue (oh, please excuse the lookup tool which has been out of order for 2 months).]]></description>

<title>Any Southern Ohio Exede Users?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26837661</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey Forumites, I am dying to uproot my family and move back to the woods of southern Ohio. My drawback is my job at the big fruit company requires me to have high speed internet to work from home. I don't think latency is an issue but 10/2 would make the boss happy.
What sort of speeds are folks in southern Ohio receiving?
More importantly, what is the reliability during the weather we experience in our wonderfully seasonal State?]]></description>

<title>ViaSat (Wild Blue&#x27;s parent corporation) announces Exede</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26752746</link>
<description><![CDATA[Today from ViaSat: quote:Announcing Exede(SM) by ViaSat 12 Mbps High-Speed Broadband Service for $50[B]

2012-01-10 - Unprecedented satellite broadband speed and user experience to begin rollout in U.S. January 16

[B]Carlsbad, Calif. &#150; For millions of consumers with a need for high-speed Internet, the broadband choices just got a lot better. ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) will launch Exede by ViaSat high-speed Internet service on January 16, offering speeds up to 12 Mbps (megabits per second) downstream and up to 3 Mbps upstream beginning at $50 per month.

Although satellite Internet has been available for years, ViaSat has completely transformed satellite broadband technology and now delivers a broadband experience similar to some of the fastest terrestrial broadband services for most applications.

&#147;With our new Exede broadband service, customers across the United States will have a way to get exceptional speed whether they live in a city, suburbs or a more rural area,&#148; said Tom Moore, senior VP of ViaSat. "Our new Exede service speeds make us very competitive with wireless home broadband service, as well as legacy DSL and many cable services."

The rollout of service is a major milestone in a process that began in 2008 when ViaSat introduced its next-generation satellite system, representing the most significant capacity leap in the history of satellite technology. The system integrates ViaSat-1, the world&#146;s highest capacity satellite, with an advanced, next generation ground system.

The Exede service also includes advanced web acceleration technology to provide an Internet web browsing experience with &#147;feels like fiber&#148; performance. Through a constantly evolving variety of techniques that go far beyond simple caching of web content, this new web acceleration technology quickly delivers pages, even on media and video intensive websites.

Exede by ViaSat Residential Service Packages

The new Exede by ViaSat residential broadband packages all feature the same high speed with successively higher data allowances at each price point. For the first time, satellite broadband delivers an attractive alternative to wireless and many wireline offers.
 [att=1] 

The data allowances for the Exede service have been established to ensure that a compelling mix of speed and volume can be offered to a large segment of the nation&#146;s typical broadband users, many of whom would otherwise not have access to high-speed Internet service.

For more information and to subscribe, go to www.exede.com.

Professional Broadband Services

In addition to residential service, the new ViaSat high-capacity satellite system is designed to simultaneously deliver a wide range of enterprise and mobile broadband services. Professional customers can choose from a family of terminals for enterprise, on-the-move, and portable applications.

ViaSat is also working with JetBlue to create the industry&#146;s best in-flight broadband for commercial aviation, with a planned service launch by the end of 2012.

About ViaSat

ViaSat delivers fast, secure communications, Internet, and remote network access to fixed sites or on-the-move. The company provides networking products and managed network services for enterprise IP applications; is a key supplier of network-centric military communications and encryption technologies and products to the U.S. and allied governments; and is the primary technology partner for gateway and customer-premises equipment for consumer and mobile satellite broadband services. Based in Carlsbad, Calif., ViaSat has established a number of worldwide locations for customer service, network operations, and technology development.
Whether this will be offered via Wild Blue or another route, no information is offered. If you go to the Exede web site, ultimately you get to a form to fill out with contact infor.

They have a PDF data sheet on their "Surfbeam 2".

Also the ViaSat-1 satellite is apparently is at 115&deg; W, between 110&deg; and 119&deg; used extensively by Dish Network which at CES 2012 announced a bundling partnership with ViaSat but Dish has nothing on their web site linking to the bundle yet.

<title>[general] Wild Blue Is A Rip Off of Goverment money</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26813931</link>
<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has had or is having trouble with Wild Blue should contact the Better Business and their state Representative, Congressman for misuse of government funds . They are miss leading to the American people by sucking them into a satelite internet servcise that does not work. We had WB for less than a month have had nothing but connection issues from day 1. We have had a service call and Wb wanted to have another service call but we were able to cancel service before the 30 day supposive free trail which is BS as they charged us 45.00 before it was we were to receive a bill. And of course no refund! Buyer Beware you are heading for trouble with WB as their tech support don't know S--- from shine. Always unplug modem wait 2 minutes oh gee it's still not working now what???? Duh let me put you on hold!! Duh WB will hang up so you have to call back only to get another oh Duh let me put you on hold then hang up. Better to have nothing than to have WILD BLUE they are wasting TAX PAYERS MONEY!!!!! ]]></description>
