Yes, Viasat is better than AT&T in areas were fiber lines are not installed in the ground.

If you are in an area where you can get AT&T fiber installed then AT&T is the better option, but if it isn't available then you probably want to go with Viasat. Their fiber internet brings fast speeds and the best value with download speeds up to 940 Mbps. AT&T’s other plan has a DSL connection that can bring slow speeds at times and is listed at $50 a month. Both plans are fair for pricing and are good options if you are in an area where they can service you. Viasat has 10 different plans for satellite internet which can be used anywhere and might be your best option if you aren't served by AT&T in your area. Viasat’s plans have speeds that range from 12 to 100 Mbps and prices from $30 to $150 a month. You have options to choose whichever plan you need depending on how much data you plan on using. Both Viasat plans and AT&T’s DSL plan come with Data caps which limit how much data the customer can use every month. This is why AT&T fiber is better than the DSL plan and Viasat’s plans. AT&T fiber is mostly in bigger cities in southern or central states, so if that is not where you live then you probably miss out on it. The bottom line is that AT&T plans are better than Viasat’s plans, but it is possible they dont service you in your area. If they don’t, then Viasat is still a great option.
