Why does my Internet keep dropping all of a sudden?

My internet has been working great since switching to FIZZ about 5-6month ago. I haven't changed anything since the original install. However, now my internet keeps dropping randomly. I am having to unplug my modem (to reset) 4-5 times a day. I've tried changing some channel settings (2G & 5G) and I've verified all my cables. Now my kids are at the point where they are begging me to change internet provider. Does anyone have any last suggestions?

    Hi Lieux,
    I don't use a router. I've never needed one before.
    I did try the factory reset, and that helped for the remainder of that day. The following morning the problem was back.
    I will try to contact FIZZ

    David I’m using my own router in the modem and I don’t have any problem.
    Fizz will help you to verify your connexion.

    David,
    If nothing helps when you have reseted the modem,
    i should suggest you to contact the Fizz customer service by chat to get more technical help.
    I know that many Fizz users have suggest to resolved their problem when they choose to use the Fizz modem in mode bridge and use their own router (of better quality).

    I had the same issue last week. It seems, even if it’s the same network than videotron, that Fizz is less stable than the mother company ... weird
