Re: ViaSat/Wildblue Head Count I think they will get customers. Not 1 million, but I don't think 500k will be a problem.
According to Viasat, they have extra capacity to offer speeds beyond the current 12mbps. |

They are already doing this....even on Exede 5, one can hit near 18 mbps speeds in the wee hours.
ViaSat's equipment (SB2) is used on TooWay's system in UK; they offer plans to 18 mbps down and 6 mbps up: »www.tooway.com/ |

500,000 customers I don't think is a problem. 500,000 customers on Viasat-1....that will take some doing. |

True they are. Although they are not advertising higher speeds. They are simply being lax at capping speeds. Actually a smart move on their behalf.
Any idea if users on Exede 5 are experiencing faster speeds on Anik-f2 or WB-1? |

If you check out this video, it suggests customers could see 18 mbps speeds....
