So disappointed with the internet speed, extremely slowly!
I just transferred my internet from teksavvy to fizz, and even pay more to raise the speed!
But I checked the speed just now, it was extremely slow!
Could you check the problem and why I paid for 60 but got only lower 23?!
So disappointed...Could anyone fix the problem or I need to find another reliable internet provider? Please help!!!

Try with a pc connect directly to the modem/router with an ethernet cable to test it. The wifi can be tweaked a bit to improve it7

Was this done via a computer directly connected to the modem/router? Wifi speeds can vary a lot due to factors such as distance from the router or interference from other people's wifi. If this was from a direct connection, contact customer service to have them fix your connection. If this was via wifi, check with a hard wired connection, and if that is at the appropriate speed, look into adjusting your wifi frequencies via the router.7

If you have an android phone you should try either Fizz Wi-Fi app or MyHitron app to test your internet speed.5

I used teksavvy for several years and I used iphone not androi. I used teksavvy the basic plan and found it was slowly recently. Then I found everyone is talking the goodness of fizz, so I changed to fizz to a better plan. Maybe I'm wrong??? I paid higher but got even worse one???3

You mention that your speed with your old provider was also slowing down.
Perhaps there is a problem with your line or cable. When the technician came over with the modem, did s/he test your cable line? If not, contact Fizz support, they can help.
Meanwhile you can also follow this Fizz FAQ: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/i-connected-my-device-using-network-cable-my-internet-connection-slow-how-do-i-fix-it

Please try with the ethernet cable
For the wifi- Disable Band Steering in Wireless -> Basic Settings -> 5G for separater the 2.4 and the 5G
- Disable ATF in Wireless -> ATF -> 2.4G and 5G
- Manually set the WiFi channels to the less crowded ones
- Go near the modem and using the 5G try again the speed test

I actually did nothing but retest the result: 46...not reaching my plan 60 yet...so it's obviously not stable this internet...will continue to monitor to see if I need to keep it or change it. Thank you all for help!5

You can restart your modem on a regular basis especially if you notice reduced download speed.
Also check that your coaxial cable is fully screwed in at both ends.
Hope it gets better!

Some user already report that the router is not the top, but you can disable the router part (putting in bridge mode) and use your own router, if you have one.5

Hi there Qian,
I can see in the picture you posted , the Jitter is at 59ms , this is not good !
You might want to check any cause of interference in your house that can cause wifi to be poor, also it is possibly an issue with the signal (i.e : the cable outside or inside ) and should be checked by a technician !
You should contact Fizz

Hello all, how to contact Fizz? I click the chat button but it leads me to nowhere except here...I confused how to get help from Fizz? See the attached showing 23ping 9ms...I'm really frustrated with transferring to Fizz...who knows how to let Fizz know? How to solve the problem? I think they should already know and send technician to check the cable line, no? Or I just need to cancel it??? I should upgrade my service with teksavvy which I used for years but just the basic cable 5 plan cannot meet my current usage...lol...so troublesome...who could tell me how to let Fizz know and solve the problem before my cancelling their service???...Thank you guys!4

I had the exact opposite experience, it works just as announced on my end. Maybe resetting the router, connecting your pc directly to the ethernet cable.1

You are running the speed test over WiFi and your signal is not even max. Run the test from a computer over Ethernet or download the Fizz app which allows you to run the test from the modem directly.1
