Viasat’s 2025 Takeoff: Stock Soars, New Satellites Launch, and a High-Stakes Future

Viasat’s 2025 Rally and Resurgence Viasat’s stock has been on a tear in 2025, marking a stark reversal of fortune. By late Q3 2025, VSAT shares had climbed roughly +280% year-to-date trefis.com – a dramatic rebound after plummeting 70% in 2024 trefis.com. The rally has accelerated through the year: a fresh surge in August saw the stock jump 25% in six days trefis.com, as investors reacted to improving financial news and strategic developments.

Global Satellite Internet Showdown 2025: Starlink vs. Viasat vs. OneWeb – Who’s Winning the Race for Space Broadband?

Key Facts Introduction Satellite internet has entered a new era in 2025. Once a niche last-resort service with slow speeds and tiny data caps, it’s now a fast-growing sector powering everything from rural homes to airplanes in flight. The charge has been led by SpaceX’s Starlink, the low-Earth orbit constellation that proved satellite broadband can be fast and relatively low-latency. Hot on its heels are legacy players like Viasat and HughesNet upgrading their systems, new LEO networks like OneWeb targeting businesses, and tech giants like Amazon’s Project Kuiper preparing to launch full services. Even regional and government initiatives are joining

Global Satellite Internet Showdown: Starlink vs Viasat vs OneWeb vs Kuiper – Which One Will Connect the World?

Starlink’s residential service delivers about 100–250 Mbps down and 10–20 Mbps up, with latency around 20–50 ms and a median near 45 ms as of mid‑2025. Starlink pricing is typically around $120 per month for standard residential service, with a $80 Lite tier in some regions, and it offers month‑to‑month service with a 30‑day trial. Starlink operates in more than 50 countries globally and had over 3 million customers in nearly 100 countries by late 2024, reaching remote regions from the Arctic to the Amazon. Starlink’s second‑generation satellites (V2) can handle roughly 80–100 Gbps per satellite, with a goal to

Space-Age WiFi: How Starlink, HughesNet, and Viasat Are Beaming Broadband from Space

Starlink uses a low Earth orbit constellation with about 7,600 satellites in orbit as of mid-2025 (aiming for 12,000+), delivering 50–250 Mbps downloads with 20–50 ms latency and no hard data caps on standard plans (heavy users may be throttled during congestion). HughesNet operates GEO satellites (EchoStar Jupiter fleet, including Jupiter 3) offering up to 50–100 Mbps on newer plans, around 600 ms latency, soft data caps with throttling, and pricing roughly $50–$100 per month with equipment around $300 or a $15/month lease; Fusion LTE hybrid is available. Viasat uses ViaSat-2/3 GEO satellites to provide 100–150 Mbps and, on newer
