I'm moving to a new apartment that had a Videotron connection, what extra configuration needs to be

daniel C. 79253

I currently live at location x where I had Videotron and now I am moving to location Y where there was a videotron connection.
When I joined Fizz, the technician came to my house an did a measurement of the signal passing through the coaxial cable and registered the modem. Then, gave it to me to plug it and I had internet. Now that I will move to location Y I have to schedule again another appointment so the technician does a measurement and registers the modem? I feel frustrated that the next appointment will be in over a month (December 22nd). With home office this impacts me a lot and moving out of my house was an unplanned situation that is why I did not schedule it before. What can I do to have the service more quickly, is there any configuration I have to modify on the modem? Change DNS? IP? ... Is really urgent to me and I dont see the point of the appointment
Hope you can understand.

Hi Daniel

Please consult the moving instructions from Fizz:
https://fizz.ca/en/faq/im-moving-how-do-i-change-my-address-my-home-internet-service

Book your moving date for the earliest possible date. Check back on the site often to see if there is any cancellation and an earlier date available.

On your moving day, you will need to unplug the modem and bring it with you.
If your new home already has cable internet, you will likely be able to use your Fizz modem right away.

Hi Daniel,

You need to follow the Fizz’s moving procedure. However, you can proceed with the moving your Fizz plan to the location Y and install the modem right away, if the cable is still connected to videotron.

Be aware you still need the technician to come, therefore do not cancel the appointment and wait for the technicien for testing the line and validate your moving

You can always check for earlier appointment following this procedure
