New Exede Speedboost plans + wifi [review & prices]
Here are some new updates on Exede’s latest plans:
Exede’s top speed plans in my area (MO)
Personally, I would only pick a plan that has their new Speedboost + WiFi modem and the Liberty Pass. Initially I enjoyed the “late night free zone” (or LNFZ) but as of late it just became too much of a hassle to manage data usage during the daytime (and saving all the heavy stuff for late night) so now I much prefer the ease and simplicity of the Liberty Pass. Plus I absolutely hated paying the $10 a month per GB extra if I went over. Thank goodness there are no overages with the Liberty Pass.
NOTE: I have no affiliation with Exede, other than being a customer.

Warning: Wildblue will not treat you right. I had them for years, the service was limited and slow; it is ridiculously slow once you reach your data cap. I cancelled today, with 20 days still left for the month that I paid for and asked to be pro-rated for February. I pay $49.95 a month and thought Exede would refund some of my money for the unused 20 days…. nope! I will never go back to Wildblue Exede.
All they offer in our area are Liberty 10, 18 and 30. Should I still be able to get reasonable speeds with Liberty Pass? We have had a 60 GB plan with Sprint that has been canceled as of March 7th, so we need something new pretty quickly. I’ve looked at the Verizon “LTE installed” service but the customers hate it due to ridiculous phantom data overages generating immense bills.
Help!
Hey Steve, I was on the Liberty Pass and found it much more pleasant than managing data caps, so if Liberty Pass is available as an add-on to the Liberty 10/18/30 plans in your area I’d definitely go that route. The speeds on Liberty plans in my area were fine for most work-from-home tasks. Verizon LTE Installed had a bad reputation for billing surprises at the time, so your instincts there sound right.
Hi J.D.,
I’ve appreciated your Exede reviews. I’m considering moving into a rural area where the only internet options are via satellite. Exede, to me, seems to be the best option. However, I work from home over the internet and would love to pick your brain about a few items and your experiences using Exede. Should I ask my questions here or through a different means? Thanks so much.
Hi Jody,
Thank you for your nice comment!
This is a great place to ask, feel free to post another comment and I will respond there.
Thanks again and have a great day 🙂
Best regards,

J.D.,
Well, let me start by saying I admire you’re striving to live a healthy and simple lifestyle and be a great father!
I’m a father of a 2-year-old boy. We’re getting ready to build a house out in the country. We want to downsize and live a much simpler life, growing some of our own food, and being less strapped to our material possessions both financially and time-wise. We want to be better stewards with what God has entrusted us with. And we’re hoping to foster and adopt a bunch of children.
All that to say, we’re going to need to get satellite internet where we’ll be moving. I work from home so having a decent internet connection is important to me. I’m excited to see what the future holds for satellite internet, as Exede sounds like it has some pretty exciting stuff coming up with the launch of their new satellite ViaSat-2 next year.
A couple random questions for you…
How long have you used Exede?
Do you use a VoIP phone at all?
Do you use a VPN at all?
Do you use video Skype at all?
Do you use WordPress at all to build or maintain a website?
Do you ever have problems during bad weather?
I’m just curious about your possible experiences with those things and in regards to you experience in general.
Thanks so much for your time, J.D.
Blessings,
Jody
Hey Jody, what a great message, thank you. I was on Exede for a few years total. VoIP worked but with noticeable latency since satellite adds 600+ ms round trip. Skype video worked in a pinch but wasn’t smooth. VPN worked for remote desktop type stuff, just sluggish. WordPress admin was fine. Bad weather (heavy rain) did occasionally drop the signal for short periods. For work-from-home it’s workable but you’d want realistic expectations on the latency. Good luck with the build and the foster care plans!
