Fizz EXT vs Fizz Reception

Cross-post from Reddit..

I switched to Fizz about a week or so ago and for the first handful of days I was connected to only Fizz EXT. Through some reading I learned and was told that this was typical when your account was first activated; it would probably last a week or two. Reception was good, what I was used to with another provider previously, but not fantastic. The past couple of days I've noticed I'm connecting to Fizz directly and the reception is actually noticeably better than with the partner network much to my surprise. Where I would normally get 2-3 bars I'm now getting 3-4. It might be because of my location (I'm in downtown KW) but whatever the reason I'll take it. That's only furthered my appreciation for Fizz and reiterated that I made the right choice.

A Reddit user replied and mentioned that they heard the Fizz EXT was a display error with iPhones and that one of the 4 Fizz EXT that was displayed was actually the Fizz network. Regardless if that was the case I still experienced a better signal when it switched over so I'll take it!
