    Hello,

    Have you tried to plug the modem in another electrical outlet?

    Support must be very busy...given the recent weather events (https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services)

    Try to reach customer service on Live chat : https://fizz.ca/en/support as they sometimes need a few extra details to possibly escalate a ticket to address your situation...

    Whatsapp: (438) 393-5814

    Par message privé sur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fizzca/

    Or open a ticket yourself:

    Hello

    Yes, I did. The modem is dead. I left several messages in the chat on WhatsApp yesterday. Nobody has answered. I need to get the modem replaced by technician asap. The technician should come tomorrow, but I don't even know how to let him know to bring the new modem!

    Hello,

    @Dami

    That's good news " The technician should come tomorrow"... , so if the appointment is a service call (for repairs)

    Here are the recommendations from Fizz: 👇

    A technician is sent to your address for a service call when your Home Internet service was diagnosed with a malfunction. After chatting with our Customer Service team, you’ll receive an email confirming the date and time slot for your appointment. Keep it for future reference because a service call does not appear in your Fizz account.

    A service call is free of charge unless you are responsible for the source of the problem. For example, you modified the installation or one of your personal equipment is faulty. Adding or relocating an outlet may also involve fees, depending on the situation. Regardless, the technician will let you know on-site if any fees apply, and these fees will be automatically charged to the payment method associated with your Fizz account.


    To modify the date or time of the service call, contact our Customer Service team using the chat bubble.


    If in doubt you can always consult with the customer support: https://fizz.ca/en/support

    To reassure you, here is a different discussion answered:

    Hello

    The appointment with the technician was done beforehand. Tomorrow he will come empty -handed. What will he tell me? That I need to have my modem replaced. So why don't you tell the technician to come with the modem now ?!!!! What's the point of his coming tomorrow empty -handed if my modem is dead NOW?!

    How can I get in touch with the technician and tell him to bring the modem?!!! If the Fizz modem is dead, it is dead! Where can I get your modem? Will YOU tell the technician to bring it with him?!!!

    Hello,

    Only support can maybe answer that for now ( if you told them that the modem is dead , I guess ) and the tehnician tomorrow maybe!

    And we will know in the future if you will come back to the forum to let us know...

    Thanks for your response! Sure, I will come back here to let you know. It's really frustrating. No answer from support

    I finally got a reply from support! :;-)))

    Thank you for your reply

    This conversation is not in real-time, and the waiting time may be longer than usual, so I appreciate your patience.

    Also, after verifications, I notice that you have an appointment on July 15 between 07:30 AM and 17:00 PM.

    A person over the age of 18 must be present at the time of this appointment. If this is not the case, the technician will not be able to complete the service call, and a new appointment will have to be scheduled.

    Also, if something unexpected happens, you can contact us to reschedule, for more information I am attaching the FAQ: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-do-i-manage-appointment-technician-visit- my-service-address

    Thank you for understanding.

    If I can help you with other information, I am at your disposal.

    Hello

    The technician came yesterday. You are right. He had a spare modem in his van. The problem is fixed. Thank you all for your kind words and support
