Fizz is a brand of Videotron, right?
They have 5G in certain areas so how does Fizz handle that?
Do they just throttle the speed for Fizz users in 5G areas?

    The speed is not throttled.

    4G and 5G are seperate networks each with their own equipment.

    Hi @bjlockie
    At the moment it seems that Fizz is making some tests, but nothing official. Therefore, official Fizz doesn't offer 5G at the moment

    There ARE 5G towers for Videotron in some areas.
    I want to know if Fizz just throttles it?

    4g is more good for battery. 5G is not necessary for all. 4g have good speed too.

    No. You simply can't access any 5G signals. You can only use LTE (and 3G/GSM where still available).

    Hello @bjlockie ,

    Currently, Fizz does not offer 5G service. Our customers can use the 4G LTE-Advanced network, which provides excellent speed and reliability.
    Once this will be offered, the information will be displayed on our website.
    Thank you for your kind understanding.
    Have a great day!
