  • How do I cancel all services and get a full refund

    Ok, I have been with Vmedia now for under a month and like everyone have experienced nothing but headaches, evenings and weekends troubleshooting, spousal outrage and kids fighting because we cant get a stable service. Like all of the newbies, a large upfront investment, so we are sort of stuck with it.

    I have placed calls, posted in the forum and until yesterday, nothing other than a couple of thousand reboots has changed. On Monday evening I received a PM from George that someone would contact me the next day, he needed my account number. Wow I am getting results..nothing.

    yesterday another form leshka responded to, sent her my account number and within a couple of hours had two phone calls with individuals wanting to help me. WOW, ok, maybe this is working.

    My first issue is that somehow the hdmi output on the vbox is not compatible with the HDMI input on my new TV. After 45 minutes of rebooting and troubleshooting the technician stated he would need to do some research and would get back to me. it was obviously an incompatibility between the two devices. I could not get any eta on when it could be fixed. At least someone called and I felt that someone was looking at my issue. UNTIL I spoke with my wife. She is furious that they just stated they would look into it. She asked me if I had contact information for the technician, NO. She asked me if I had a case number, NO. She asked me if I had any idea when they would get back to me with at least an update, NO. Not feeling so great about it now.

    The second issue is our VOIP. Numerous issues including voice-mail. Received a call and was informed that voicemail was a know issue and would be resolved by tomorrow. OK. all other issues were working \when he called, so there was nothing he could really do. i see that VOIP is not working properly and the voicemail issue is still not resolved.

    In the evening, on the vboxes we can watch, Tv is choppy and out of sync nd lots of green splashes. had issues using the vclound, but guess everyone else did to. Looking throught eh forums and finally doing my own speed tests, i see that I am not getting the speed I am paying for.

    I have nothing left in me to defend vmedia and the money we are saving. Simply put, How do I cancel all services and get my refund for the following:

    Three vboxes
    Three VOIP handsets
    1 Cable modem
    installation
    End of November service fees
    December's Service fee.

    I shouldn't be paying for a service that VMedia has yet to deliver on.

    I am assuming two things are going to happen - 1) No response, No acknowledgement, No change in Service or 2) VMedia will inform me that they can not do a refund for whatever reason.

    To George, you are losing business and you need to prove that customers come first and honor refunds to anyone who is new (last 45 days) that has yet to experience the full features and stability of what was offered.

    the ball is in your court.

    You have 3 VBOXes that work with 3 of your other TVs and 4th VBOX that you are connecting to a new 70" TV that doesn't work. We do not know why it is incompatible and we showed you that there were posts on the Internet about those TVs having HDMI issues. I am very sorry, but we are not experts on the TVs and we cannot help with this matter. VBOX has HDMI 1.4a output and it is industry standard and was confirmed by your TV manufacturer. Perhaps they have a firmware updgrade for your TV. I would check that with them. I would also suggest you wait for quad core box to start selling in Spring to test it on your 4th TV. May be it will work?

    We are prepare to assist with VoIP. Please PM me and I will help someone call you right away and assist. If you chose to cancel, please send us a cancelation request to billing@vmedia.ca.

      Correction: We have three boxes total, two of them are working on older TV's. So you telling me that you are not going to help in this matter means that the technician who i spoke with last night, Mathew lied to me about following up and getting back to me. Good to know.

      Do I get a refund on all my equipment, service fees and installation?

        Buddy, I too am a new client with VMedia. I joined barely a month ago. I too have yet to see the service I am paying for actually work as advertised. Nothing but slow speeds and t.v issues galore. Our television watching experience in this house has taken a huge nose dive and has become very unenjoyable. Most of the time we're surprised when we get more then a few minutes uninterrupted viewing without sync issues. We cross our fingers that it will actually last but alas it is not meant to be. I guess the longer we stay with VMedia the more we have to accept that it will never be normal to watch t.v like we use or to get internet speeds that are the speeds we pay for. People can say what they want to about Rogers but I'll tell you something for sure, for certain, for real, we never EVER had issues anywhere close to the issues we get now with VMedia. I'd much sooner pay a little more and know that my hard earned money is working for me rather then feel like it has gone to waste like it feels it has now. But who am I after all? Just a little ole insignificant consumer who means nothing to VMedia and gets told to "stop" by "George" when I voice my opinion and feelings about my experience. I am simply speaking the truth. Now, let me go and restart my devices and then check for the latest firmware again. Perhaps my new router has recieved an update newer than the newest update that came out a very short while ago. Leshka, does it tickle you a little every time you ask a customer to do these things?? Perhaps it does, a little at least.

          Hello. Thanks for the message and I hope you're right but I've read a lot of reviews and comments that date back way before this past month that all say exactly the same thing. I don't believe these recent problems are new problems, I believe they are bigger problems of the problems from before.

              Hello all! I'm a long time customer of vmedia since June of 2013 and I ahave to say after a few small issues in the beginning, I have had amazing product since October of 2013 up until this last update issue with the pvr. I can honestly say that it's worth the wait even though we are all frustrated. I wish something was done differently with the release, but reality is it wasn't and we just all have to get through it. If the issues are truely not going to get better before the new yer, I may kick myself for saying this, but once things are worked out, I'm hoping for the same reliable great experience I have had in the past. Just my two cents as a long time customer.

                  Will I have only been with vMedia for a couple months, and i have been more than pleased with the services so far. I have had TV issues, but not much issues with the internet. However TV watching isn't an important factor in my household. Maybe for those where it is more critical, paying the extra dollars is worth it. For us we are satisfied with the savings, and even with the hiccups, the service had been more than adequate to keep both me and my wife happy.

                    @kcruse ...i'm not going to tell you to cancel or not, but a note on the televsion; if it's a new TV (70 inch?? good for you ) is it 4K? If so, is the HDMI cable plugged into the 4K input? (I have an LG, only one of the 5 HDMI ports is for 4k input)...I only ask because I plugged my vbox into this 4K input and it worked; till I turned the tv off. Now it shows up completely washed out in pink, almost unreadable through hot pink/red hues...switched to another HDMI port and boom, no issues at all. In fact all the ports except that one work beautifully. I have no idea from a atechnical standpoint why that may happen, or if I'm simply talking out my a**, but I'm wondering if the 4K port only accepts a minimum strength signal of 1080 P and after all the updates boxes were rolled back to 720 P output. It's a shot in the dark, but give another HDMI input a go.

                        Would you like us to send a technician to you to see if he could figure something out? He will bring a few vboxes with him of different models and try to see if any of them will work?

                          Have you tried other HDMI devices with your new TV? Or gotten one of your other VBoxes that are working with the other TVs, tried them on the new TV? Since your new TV seems to have known HDMI connection issues (at least, as per leshka's post), I'm not sure what VMedia can do aside from try a couple different VBoxes to get it working. Have you tried component inputs? It sounds very much like an issue with your TV that you should be taking up with the manufacturer.

                          As for the issues with TV viewing on your other TVs... The service has been pretty much all over the place the last few weeks. First, the pvr upgrade fiasco (which I think is *mostly* solved), but then also the ongoing capacity issues, in particular with cable internet subscribers. There was talk of compensation in some of the other threads, but no specifics. This has been by FAR the worst month since I signed up in April, but provided they can get the capacity issues sorted, it's actually a pretty solid service (though I can't speak to the VOIP, I just went with MagicJack for our home phone needs, since we barely ever use it)

                            I concur, i have been with Vmedia since August 2013, have nothing bad to say. The TV service has always kept improving. One thing I like about these guys, is these forums and someone from Vmedia (mostly leshka) replying.

                            People get frustrated, we all have. They should have gone with the original plan of having beta testers testing the PVR function and then roll it out to most of the users. However, I think they will learn from this process and as always I expect nothing but improvement.
