Time for Modem Freedom in Quebec. Fizz, Are You Listening?

Since November 1, 2024, a new regulation in Belgium requires Internet service providers to allow users to choose their own modem, rather than being restricted to the model imposed by the provider. This is a significant step toward greater autonomy for internet users and aims to boost competition in the telecom sector.

I’d love to see something similar happen in Quebec, especially with Fizz.

Fizz’s modem is massive, with an outdated router still stuck on WiFi 5, leaving no other option but to use it in bridge mode. This setup results in having two routers—a waste of space and an inefficient solution.

Is there any plan to allow users the freedom to choose their modem?
