VMedia cable internet speed

We have been with VMedia cable internet service for 9 years. We are in a newer neighborhood in the Kanata area. VMedia has been a reliable ISP. There were few outages throughout the years, but mostly due to extreme weather causing power outage, or fiber damage.
The upload and download speed have been very consistent throughout the day. I never experienced any speed throttling from VMedia. We don't do Bittorrent, we use the internet for Netflix, youtube, online gaming, and remote work.
During pandemic lockdown, we had 4 video teleconferencing and 2 VPN running simultaneously with no issue. We have the 70M/30M plan. We don't use the Vmedia TV service.

Why so many negative reviews?

I've just been enjoying TV and Internet for the past 2 days and am very happy with VMedia.

I did have a problem at first and texted with an agent. I've got to admit he was completely useless.
But then he directed me to call technical support and this person did a pretty good job of solving my problem.
Turns out I need to hard reboot my VBOX which involves holding the reset down while pluggin in the power. A little tricky but nothing I couldn't handle.
Anyway after that everything worked great!

TV works fine on my 30Mbit connection at $40 a month. No delays at all, quick response from menus, 4k resolution when available. What more can you ask for?

I'm very happy.

Review from Canadianisp.ca

At the beginning I switched because the prices were better for the speed I was getting. I began a little bit to regret that when I had to deal with their customer service, however they got somehow better.
The service is OK, and now I do not need to contact their customer service (the best is when you do not have to contact them at all and all is working).
If they improve their customer service, they would be very interesting for a lot of customers.

Could I use wireless printer with your internet. I also have Roku for Netflix.


Hello Robin, In general terms, as long as you have a wireless router you may use anyone's internet provider to print. The typical modem provided by VMedia does not have Wi-Fi, so you'll need to buy one. We wrote a great article to help guide the selection here: https://www.gonevoip.ca/best-home-wireless-router/ Hope this helps. The GoneVoIP Team.

Internet Cable Wars: Battleground Ontario

It has been brewing for a few months. Competition in the Cable Internet segment, especially on Rogers's territory is fierce. This is mainly driven by, ironically Rogers itself by making available to smaller or independent ISP's Speeds that would otherwise look premium. Rogers's strategy seems to be working as small ISPs as VMedia or Velcom go neck a neck with other medium-sized internet companies such as TekSavvy. Offers Some of the available plans from Rogers' resellers are: Velcom 250 Mbps Down /
