New Choice home internet plans, we are introducing a new satellite
internet experience to help meet the evolving needs of residential
consumers. By optimizing our satellite network, we expect to
deliver more data at faster speeds, more consistently. These speeds
will enable us to provide the experience that our customers desire.
Our new service plans demonstrate a technological achievement that
we are proud of: delivering 100 times the speed compared to the
first service plans we offered when we entered the residential

Mbps in select areas.

data to its residential customers. The Company's next-generation
satellite constellation, ViaSat-3, is expected to be capable of
delivering even greater bandwidth capabilities that will result in
more speed, data and streaming options. Viasat has received various
accolades from consumer outlets including being named the 'Fastest
Satellite Internet Provider' among U.S. rural internet service
providers (ISPs) by CNET and receiving the Best for High Speeds
designation by ZDNet.
