I have been trying to find out if it's possible get service on this bird myself. We have a remote location where a lot of people can't really install their own dish (Dish size, look angle, trees). Viasat-1 has a spot beam that should hit them. We were trying to find out if it was possible to purchase multiple subscriber packages for a single connection, since they have no real ISP plan. No one has been able to come up with anything yet, most didn't return our inquiry. We are willing to pay for the service if they can figure out how to provide it.

So if anyone makes any progress on Viasat-1 other than the single subscriber packages, please let us know.

Looks like it has about 600-800 ms latency  and tesymy.net shows speed test at around 10-14 mg

I'm not familiar with them but that service has got to have bandwidth caps like DirecWay. Also it's hard to believe that Skype and Vonage would work well because they must be over-sold (high contention ratio) at that price.
