Internet up and down a lot over past two hours

Tee

What is going on with Fizz/Videotron Internet in the Montreal area in the past 90-180 minutes. Constantly going down and signal quality low messages appear on Illico box too.

Hi Tee

Please try unplugging your modem from the electrical outlet for at least 1 minute. Also unplug the coaxial cable from the coaxial outlet and the modem respectively, then plug it back in the outlet first and then in the modem, then try restarting the modem.

Check the led status lights on the modem. If one of the 2 arrows is off or flashing this means that you have a problem with the signal, the coaxial cable can be a problem in your sector. For this kind of problem, you must contact Fizz support.

There could be maintenance in your area.

If the problem continues, you can contact customer support by chat:

Been there and done that. It's not a modem reboot issue. This is a network issue.
