Constant loss of internet
Hi,
Has anyone been experiencing the same issue lately?
We’d lose internet couple of times per day. Sometimes it recovered on its own, sometimes router had to be restarted.
This is very annoying especially during the holidays, seriously considering switching to another provider if issues persist.

There might be a technical issue with your router. It's not normal to lose internet completely like that. I'd suggest you to try to contact fizz support and they will troubleshoot it with you

Hi @Johannas
Chat with Fizz since they can
- verify if there is an incident or maintenance work carried out in your area affecting services. The following map could give some clues: https://downdetector.ca/status/videotron/map/
- diagnose 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.
In the meantime:
- Does the problem only occur with WIFI or even when you connect directly to modem via Ethernet cable?
- 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.
- full factory reset is a not so quick solution, but faster than waiting for an answer here

- Go to a FAQ page e.g. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services

I have not had any issues on my side. Things are pretty stable here.
You can contact Fizz customer service (ideally via Chat), and they can remotely check the line quality to your modem/router. If required, they will send you a technician to check the connection outside.
When you lose internet, is it just the WiFi that drops, or even Wired devices (if you have wired) ? When it happens, are the second and 3rd light (from the top) of the modem, still solid blue, or are have they reverted back to Green and flashing ?
If they are solid blue still, then it could be JUST the WiFi of the modem/router that has failed (can be confirmed, if you have anything connected with Ethernet cable). If they are flashing green, then the problem is either the modem or the connection coming into your home.

If the problem persists, Fizz Customer service agents are available online.
- Sign into your account
- Follow the link on this page: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services or https://fizz.ca/fr/faq/etat-services
- Wait 3 seconds for the green bubble with a '?' appears at the bottom right of the browser, if you use a phone you must use it in desktop or horizontal mode
- Choose the option 💬 chat
- If the green bubble does not appear make sure your ad blocker is disabled, otherwise try with another browser.
PS: For me the only combination that works for CHAT, is Firefox, in a private window, and only when in the French language..
Other means of contact
- Whatsapp: (438) 393-5814

Hello, is it just the WIFI or also with a network cable from your modem to your computer? You can also contact Fizz Customer Service via My Settings, Contact Form. If it isn't your modem, it may be a problem with the cable itself from the source to your home or inside your home, these cables fail over time and/or don't like kinks or sharp bends.
