VMedia Inc. is a Canadian telecommunications company and broadcast distribution provider. It offers VoIP telephone services across Canada; DSL and cable Internet in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia; and IPTV television service in Ontario, the Greater Montreal Area, Alberta and British Columbia.
VMedia officially launched on March 26, 2013. Following the launch of its IPTV television service in Ontario, the company announced in 2016 that its intention is to expand service to Quebec,Alberta and British Columbia in the future. On May 31, 2016, VMedia formally launched IPTV service in parts of Quebec, and British Columbia and Alberta on June 22, 2016.
VMedia's IPTV service is a traditional subscription television service bundled with over-the-top content delivered through a proprietary Android-based set-top box branded as "VBox". Subscription to the television service requires a VMedia internet plan, due to contracts for some networks and other CRTC regulations requiring the content to only be distributed over a managed network.
