per second (Mbps) and data rich packages that go up to
80 Gigabytes (GB) of data per month, enabling them to

Viasat's residential plans in
Brazil
Viasat's new residential internet
service for Brazil uses bandwidth from the Telebras
SGDC-1 satellite to deliver satellite internet services.
The service is launching today across eight states
including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais,
Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Federal District
and Amazonas. The service will be rolled out across the
country, with an expected completion date before the end
of 2020.
Simplified to fit the needs of
Brazilian internet users, Viasat offers two plans: a
basic plan (Viasat 10Mega) and an advanced plan (Viasat
20Mega). Each plan includes download speeds of up to 10
Mbps and 20 Mbps, respectively, along with in-home
Wi-Fi. In addition, Viasat's Brazil residential plans
are competitively priced and include unique features,
such as unlimited chat and browsing and also a free zone
from 2:00am to 7:00am local time.
"Now, Brazilian homes will have
access to a reliable, high-speed satellite-based
internet service, unlike any satellite internet service
they've used before," said Bruno Soares Henriques,
commercial director, Viasat Brazil. "We are proud to
deliver a high-quality internet service, with features
like unlimited chat and web browsing, across the
country. Our fast, data-rich residential plans will meet
the needs and interests of the millions of Brazilians we
can potentially service—enabling us to distinguish the
Viasat internet service from others on the market."
Viasat has been investing in Brazil
since 2018, and has set-up a team with local expertise
that is highly motivated to deliver the most impactful
connectivity solutions to the Brazilian people. Viasat
is working with Visiontec to provide in-market sales,
fulfillment and technical support expertise for the
residential internet service. Viasat recently announced
an expansion of its existing partnership with Visiontec
designed to support its residential service.
