Shopping for an internet service provider can seem overwhelming. You might have so many options and factors to consider that it seems like you’re looking at a chalkboard full of math equations. Or, you have so few that you think you’re stuck with dealing with a terrible internet connection. Luckily, one provider is working to make sure you have at least one great option no matter where you live.

Viasat 3 will be able to serve more customers than ever before

If you’ve heard of satellite internet before, you may be worried by what you’ve heard, but the technology has come a long way over the years. Viasat is soon going to push the boundaries of what satellite internet can achieve to a whole new level with Viasat 3. The total network capacity of the satellites that Viasat owns and operates is currently around 500GB per second. Each of the three new satellites launching as part of Viasat 3 has a capacity of 1TB per second. When all three come online, Viasat’s new total network capacity will reach a whopping 3.5TB per second! That’s about 7.5 times what is now!

Viasat 3 will make high-speed internet available almost everywhere

This incredibly large capacity isn’t the only benefit Viasat 3 will bring though. Each of the new satellites covers such a large area that they will create a continuous ring of coverage area around the entire planet, only leaving the extreme North and South outside. This will not only allow Viasat to offer service to practically everyone on the planet, it will also allow Viasat to offer in-flight internet access to airlines, finally allowing people to access the internet during the entire flight.

Viasat 3 is making Viasat satellite internet a competitive option for everyone, but for many, the choice just got much easier.
