Viasat satellite internet is available virtually everywhere in Colorado, including rural areas that cable and fiber don’t reach. The current residential plan, Viasat Unleashed, includes unlimited data, no annual contract, and download speeds up to 150 Mbps in select areas (actual speeds vary by address). To check availability and pricing at your CO address, call 888.206.2693.

Why satellite internet makes sense in Colorado

Away from the Front Range corridor, Colorado turns rural quickly in two directions: mountain valleys to the west and open prairie to the east. Ranches on the Eastern Plains sit miles apart along gravel section roads, while San Luis Valley farms and Western Slope canyon communities are hemmed in by terrain that complicates every wired buildout. High-country cabins above the ski towns often have no cable option at any price. Satellite covers both landscapes without waiting for a trench crew.

Parts of Colorado where satellite is often the most practical option include the Eastern Plains, San Luis Valley, Western Slope and Sangre de Cristo foothills.

Viasat plans and speeds in Colorado

As of Jul-2026, Viasat’s primary residential offering in Colorado is Viasat Unleashed:

  • Speeds up to 150 Mbps in select areas — typical speeds depend on your address and local network capacity.
  • No annual contract — month-to-month service with no early termination fee.
  • Professional installation — often free with credit qualification on qualifying plans.

Pricing commonly starts around $69.99/month for the first three months and from $99.99/month after that, but it is location-dependent — the only way to get an exact quote for your address is to call 888.206.2693.

Viasat vs. other rural internet options in Colorado

Starlink and HughesNet reach effectively all of Colorado, and the state's broadband grant programs are pushing fiber into some rural counties. Fixed wireless from national carriers covers plains towns better than mountain valleys, where terrain leaves satellite as the more consistent fallback.

An honest comparison: Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit network delivers lower latency, which matters for competitive gaming and some real-time apps — if that’s your priority and it fits your budget, it’s worth considering. Viasat’s strengths are professional installation (no DIY dish mounting), predictable equipment costs, unlimited data, and phone-based ordering where a person confirms what actually works at your address. HughesNet plans include priority-data allowances, so heavy streamers in Colorado should compare data policies closely.

Viasat in Colorado: frequently asked questions

Does satellite internet work through Colorado snowstorms?

Falling snow itself usually causes only minor signal loss, but wet snow piling up on the dish can degrade service until it slides off or is brushed clear. Installers in snow country angle and site dishes to shed accumulation. Ground blizzards on the Eastern Plains rarely interrupt service for long. Expect occasional brief weather interruptions rather than extended outages.

Can I get Viasat at a mountain cabin on the Western Slope?

Generally yes, as long as the site has a clear view of the southern sky, which is the one real constraint in steep canyon terrain. A cabin on a north-facing slope beneath a high ridge may need creative dish placement, something a professional installer assesses on site. Availability and speeds vary by address, so confirm what is offered at your location.

Is Viasat available across Colorado's Eastern Plains?

The open plains are close to ideal satellite territory: flat horizons, few trees, and clear sight lines to the southern sky. Coverage extends across essentially all of eastern Colorado, where farm and ranch homes often sit far beyond any cable plant. Specific plans and speed tiers vary by address, so check availability for your property to see current options.

Is satellite internet good enough for working from home in rural Colorado?

Many rural Coloradans do it. Viasat Unleashed offers unlimited data with speeds up to 150 Mbps in select areas, sufficient for email, cloud apps, and video meetings in decent conditions. Satellite latency is noticeable on real-time calls, and peak-hour congestion can slow things down. For homes without wired options, it is a workable remote-work connection. Performance varies by address.
