Internet losing connection

Posts: 24 ✭✭
edited May 2023 in Internet

Twice this week my internet goes down for several hours but seems to eventually recover.


fizz support is slow to respond to confirm there are issues or work performed in my area.

Is anyone else having issues getting a sync from the modem ? Seems to be unable to grab an ipv4 address and eventually recovers. Currently down right now Sunday may 28th 1:53pm

    There were several outages reported for both Fizz and Videotron

    But we are all users here, check with support to be sure.

    Depends where you leave

    Or contact back the support, sorry

    It can be probably that your modem is defective. Try to check with support.

    Montreal. H3X postal zone.


    earlier this week it was during a power outage. My home was unaffected but thousands in my immidiate neighborhood were out of power so I figured some Vidéotron equipment got effected in my region. Today was out from around noon until 2pm.

    Probably they are working on it

    @Jess_i88b6 i thought they may be working on it too. But support takes hours to confirm anything.

    The fizz status page always reports everything is fine I’d expect them to post these kinds of outages but I guess I have to reset my expectations

    Have you considered trying to restart your modem:

    Unplug the power cable on your Wi-Fi modem.

    Make sure all the lights on the modem are off once you have unplugged it.

    Wait ten (10) seconds.

    Plug your modem back into the electrical outlet. Expect between (3-15) minutes delay to allow your devices to reconnect to the network.
