In the Do it yourself installation they refer to Cable,, however Virgin uses Telephone jack. does that mean i simply take the DSL jack from the Virgin Modem and plug it into the Fizz Modem when I receive it, Or is it more complicated than that ?

    It sounds like you are switching your Internet from a DSL (phone) connection.

    The Fizz modem uses an RG-62 cable connection, like a Cable TV.

    You will need to have that installed by the Fizz installer when they bring the modem.

    Then your computer cabling (RJ-45) is connected to the Fizz modem/router (or you use Wi-Fi).

    *Only* the computer cable (RJ-45) will move from the Virgin modem to the Fizz modem.

    A phone jack has a smaller RJ-11 connector, that will physically fit (loosely) in an RJ-45 network jack, but will NOT work.

    Please make sure the technician checks your cable signal in your apartment.

    He may also needs access to the Videotron cable room/closet in your building.
