How to Cancel Viasat
Skycopia rates Viasat as hard to cancel, and you'll have to call. Expect hold time and at least one discount offer before anyone will process it.
🔍 The founder's own audit flagged $19,207/yr — 62 recurring charges out of 6,027 transactions, real numbers as of July 2026.
Cancellation line: 1-844-702-3199
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Viasat bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.
Free to set up — no card needed.
Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
There's no online self-serve cancel — call the number above to cancel
- 2
Ask the rep to confirm your plan type: Unleashed is month-to-month with no early-termination fee, while Essentials (12-month term) and Unlimited (24-month term) can carry one
- 3
Wait for the free prepaid Leased Equipment Recovery Kit (shipped via UPS) and return the modem, power cord, and the TRIA (the transceiver on the dish arm) within 30 days of disconnection — the dish itself and its mounting brackets stay with the house
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, warning you before the retention offer — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
What they'll try to keep you
A discounted rate or bundle offer before the rep confirms a cancellation date, plus vagueness about whether you're still under contract until you ask directly.
Say this: “I want to cancel service, not switch plans. Please confirm whether I'm still under a minimum term, my exact remaining months, and the equipment return deadline.”
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

Essentials and Unlimited plans charge $15 for every month left on the contract if you cancel early (Viasat's own example: 14 months remaining runs $210) — Unleashed has no contract and no fee. Miss the 30-day equipment return window and Viasat bills an additional unreturned-equipment fee under the Lease Addendum, so ship it back as soon as the kit arrives.
