Hello. My internet disconnected until last night to now. I turned off the modem and did the rest of the steps, but the connection is still disconnected. What should I do? How can I restart ? I do not find this option

    Hello @33872342

    Contact Fizz since they can

    • verify if there is an incident or maintenance work carried out in your area affecting services.
    • check your account status
    • check your modem status if it works within optimal parameters, if its signals are within functioning ranges and also its history (like recent signal fluctuations for the past few days). They can check for package loss or broadcast congestion.


    If one of the 2 LEDs with the arrow symbol is not solid blue, you potentially have a problem with the signal from the coaxial cable, the modem itself, or perhaps you have a problem in your area.


    Other tips:

    • Does the problem only occur with WIFI or even when you connect directly to modem via Ethernet cable?
    • Have you checked the indicator lights on your modem?
    • This would give us information about the problem.
    • At the same time, check the connection of the coaxial cable. If you have another coaxial cable than the one that you already use, it would be very useful to test with it.
    • Please check the steps from the FAQ as well: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/none-my-devices-can-access-internet-wi-fi-or-using-cable-how-do-i-fix-it
    • A full factory reset is a not so quick solution, but faster than waiting for a answer here.


    Chat bubble is the best tool to reach Fizz. To chat:

    1. Go to a FAQ page e.g. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services
    2. Look bottom right for the big ❔ question mark in a green bubble.
    3. Click it, options will be displayed
    4. Choose "💬 Chat"
    5. Note: the bubble will only display the chat for a computer version. If you are on a cell phone, you must check "Desktop site" in your browser settings.
    6. Submit your question with possibly a relevant screenshot or modem photo
    7. After that will be displayed the number of customers preceding you, to manage your expectations. Updated real time.
    8. The advantages of Fizz bubble tool are that it is 24/7 real-time with waiting time management and the ability to print (e.g. PDF) a copy of the conversation for your records. Sometimes you can even leave a comment about your satisfaction with the conversation.

    Hello 33872342,

    I am sorry to hear about this situation.
    I can see that you contacted our support and a technician will arrive to investigate this further. 
    I would recommend removing the transparent protection to prevent the modem from overheating. 

    Have a lovely day,
    -Alex

    Hello, are all the lights on the modem/router on or the right colour to indicate it is working right? If yes press the hard reset button/switch for more than 15 seconds. If this doesn't work unplug the modem for 5 minutes. If this doesn't work try connecting your computer to the modem/router with a network cable. If this works then it is a problem with the wireless function of your modem. Test another modem or wireless router if you have one available.

    Then the device is probably working properly. It might a service issue or an account issue. I suggest you chat with them as only them will know what is really happening.
