Please Note that it says Exede Services, but in the Exede FAQ, it talks about how the Priority Upgrade Program upgrades you to Exede Services. So I think anyone who upgrades can receive this offer.
I said that, because it says in the Exede FAQ that you can upgrade with the Priority Upgrade Program in April, which would make you an Exede Customer.

And Shane, it seems that the money-counters at ViaSat and WildBlue aren't going to listen to anyone. So I wouldn't try getting them to up the Data Allowances or change prices.

Some of these press releases are just laughable...

Price not increasing? Plenty of data available for rural residents? Change the playing field in the Internet industry?

I think what is so frustrating is they think people will actually believe all this hype. I will say this...the last line in the article is certainly true. It certainly is a converstation starter

I just got a Lightbulb.
So, there are certain off-peak hours during the night, usually 11PM-7AM (Pacific Time).
What if, depending on whether you had Augmented Gateways or ViaSat-1 Beams, Augmented Beams got a certain amount of hours, like 3AM-7AM, and ViaSat-1 Beams got the free download zone from 11PM-3AM? If there were something like it, even 2 hours a night on the new packages would make it a fair price DEFINITELY.

Just Keep your old plan with WB the page from Exede shows - Pro plan for 49.99. You don't have to upgrade to the new Exede plan if your not concerned about the faster speeds and the old Pro plan you can get threshold of 17,000 download - 5,000 upload. 49.99

I know that, whysoslow, but thanks for posting. Only new customers, in certain areas can receive the Pro Plus Package. We are existing customers. Besides, my parents already signed up for the Priority Upgrade Program, and are getting the Exede12 25 probably.
