This makes it an apt choice for users with intense internet needs such as video streaming and online gaming.

Hot on its trail, Viasat Internet delivers satellite connectivity, blanketing the whole town with its service. With maximum download speeds of 100 Mbps and prices starting at $49.99 a month, Viasat stands strong as a viable option for those who prize coverage over speed.
