Viasat Satellite Internet in Ohio

Viasat provides satellite internet service across Ohio using its advanced ViaSat-2 and ViaSat-3 satellite constellation. Unlike cable or fiber providers that require physical infrastructure running to each home, Viasat beams internet directly from orbit to a small dish installed on your roof. This makes it available virtually everywhere in Ohio, from the Lake Erie shoreline, Appalachian foothills in the southeast, and the flat western agricultural plain. Ohio's Appalachian southeast and rural northwest farming areas have persistent broadband gaps, and Viasat fills that critical gap by delivering broadband speeds without needing a single mile of cable or fiber.

Viasat has invested heavily in its next-generation satellite fleet, with the ViaSat-3 constellation delivering significantly more capacity than previous generations. For Ohio residents, this means faster speeds and more consistent performance, particularly with the new Unleashed plan lineup. These contract-free plans offer unlimited data, a major shift from Viasat's earlier offerings that had priority data thresholds. Ohio's Appalachian region in the southeast mirrors the broadband challenges of neighboring West Virginia and Kentucky, which makes Viasat's expanding capacity especially impactful here.

Ohio's three C's (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati) have competitive broadband markets, but the rural corners of the state depend on satellite. With speeds up to 300 Mbps on the Unleashed 300+ plan and no data caps to worry about, Viasat has evolved from a last-resort option into a genuinely competitive broadband choice for rural Ohio households. The company's shift toward unlimited data and faster speeds reflects growing demand from remote workers, telehealth patients, and streaming households in Appalachian Ohio near the Wayne National Forest, rural northwest Ohio farming communities, and the Hocking Hills region.
