Viasat Community Internet
Bringing fast, affordable WiFi to underserved areas across Mexico
Nearly half of Mexico doesn’t have internet access. We want to bring Community Internet where it’s needed most — because we believe everyone should have equal access to the internet. Helping kids with homework. Connecting families with distant relatives. Helping farmers manage their businesses. Access to the internet can transform lives — which is why we’re bringing it to the hardest-to-reach places in Mexico. Community residents purchase pay-as-you-go internet from a local Viasat reseller, allowing them to connect to our satellite internet network through a local Wi-Fi connection. Viasat already provides internet access to over a million people across Mexico within walking distance of a Community Internet hotspot — and keep working to connect hundreds of new communities every month.
