  • You can only give data from your current month's plan. Rollovers cannot be gifted. So if your usage looks something like this, even with almost 2GB of data, none can be gifted.
  • @Whizz , thank you but the link applies to a different promotion. The one I am discussing is for $5 free riding time. (Image attached) The question is how to activate the account in advance of use, and without a subscription. I don't want to be fiddling with this in front of the BIXI stand when I'm on a tight schedule. If…
  • Since Fizz is a Videotron flanker brand, roaming behaviour may be similar. When in Ontario with Videotron, I've had to power cycle the phone to get data. Even though I can still text and call, occasionally data would disappear. Turning Airplane mode on and off may also work. This assumed that you have enough data and that…
  • Everything you say is true, but assuming you want a workaround rather than simply to be right, a client offers one solution. And once set, the IP does not change unless the MAC address of the router changes (or the router is powered off for 24-48 hours). So you could even set it manually in a pinch. I wish the Fizz router…
  • You have posted this in a public forum. You might want to remove personal financial details. You will get more help here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/resolving-issues Use the ? in the bottom right to get to chat to a representative.
  • Consider running a client on your computer. I've avoided these features on the modem because of this type of issue. I currently use dyndns.org and no-ip.org without issue. Since you'll need the computer on in order to make much use of DDNS, this should work fine. Even if you do not sign-on often, the IP address remains…
  • Vous pouvez changer à tout moment. Vérifiez périodiquement que les prix changent sans préavis. N'oubliez pas d'utiliser vos avantages (My Upgrades / Perks). Vous avez probablement 500 Mo supplémentaires par mois (My Upgrades) et 6 Go de cadeaux (Perks).
  • I've had problems a couple of times (loss of connectivity upstream for a few minutes at a time). If I check Fizz network status via another route, it always says that everything is just fine. It would be nice if the network status message was a little more accurate. In the past, when Videotron DNS services went offline and…
  • With a $50 referral (each!) it's hard to argue. It often makes sense to keep phones and Internet separate. Internet is associated to a place. Mobile phones to a person. When people move, the Internet is disrupted while the phone is not. Separating them allows you to pass on the Internet to new tenants while keeping the…
  • Most individuals could survive with 15/10 though gamers might find it slow for large downloads. A family works with 30/10. I know one that did. My preference would be for higher upload speeds (more symmetrical speeds) as this would give more headroom for Zooms. 4 people on zoom with 10Mbps upload is workable, but does not…
  • With upgrades of 500 and 250 (and now 5x1GB perks) even a 1GB data plan should still allow you to use 2GB a month.
  • Cancelled Teksavvy the day that Fizz was working. Fizz has great pricing, but it's because it's effectively cross subsidized by Videotron. Feel sorry for the little guys since when they are gone you can bet the prices will go up again. Hopefully, the CRTC will require access to the wholesale networks at saner pricing. And…
  • The referral code is added in the last page that shows all billing details, just before you agree to everything.
  • Indeed, the speed change was not applied until I contacted customer service.
  • With Band Steering enabled, both 2.4 and 5GHz signals can share the same SSID (name). Only one will appear, but which you use can be determined by settings in your Wi-Fi adapter (Band Preference). The printer will only use 2.4GHz, regardless. Most likely, you have AP Isolation enabled so your Wi-Fi signal is firewalled…
  • Frais mensuels: 28$ + 2$ + 0.46$ = 30.46$ 30.46$ plus les taxes = 35.02$
  • Changing the plan should not require the 'new' plan to be active, but you are likely correct that no one wants to test the theory. ;)
  • Any referral bonus applies to the third payment.
  • Step 3 at the following link has the description for each light. https://fizz.ca/en/faq/none-my-devices-can-access-internet-wi-fi-or-using-cable-how-do-i-fix-it The modem manual has no description for any orange lights. Can you confirm?…
  • I always have missed calls forward to a voip number, so I can do exactly this. Most of the time, it goes to message, but I can also set up a soft client or similar if I want to take those calls.
  • Blue up/downstream is normal and indicates a successful sync. You could know this by looking at the lights card included with the modem. If the line is synced, the problem is likely on your side. I suggest you start by resetting the modem and following the instructions on the box. Then check the 'Contact Us' link under…
  • If you are really tight on cash, but have time to micromanage your account, you can also bump up your plan for one month, and benefit from data rollover. For example, adding 1GB to a plan with no data is $6 per GB. Keeping it for three months (3GB total) costs $18. If instead you get 3GB for a single month, it will cost…
  • Why don't people choose a slower speed for a day? ;) It might improve internal metrics too by looking like a recovery of revenue rather than a loss.
  • I'm guessing you have an iPhone, but it may be a generic reaction to being unable to connect to the network. Here is a similar sounding issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8131546 I suggest you speak with customer service (via chat or FB messenger). https://fizz.ca/en/contact-us
  • That website works fine for me. I've not tested with the default Fizz DNS, as I'm using bridge mode, but I do use a protected DNS from CIRA. You can get those DNS servers here: https://www.cira.ca/cybersecurity-services/canadian-shield The protected DNS IPs are: For IPv4 enter: 149.112.121.20 and 149.112.122.20 For IPv6…
  • I forward missed calls to a voip number (voip.ms, I have a discount code if you want) so that the voicemail returns in an email. No checking my voicemail. No filled voicemail box. A billion options available for managing the calls. (Only a slight exaggeration) Oh, and it costs less than $2/month.
  • Oui, mais... Ils pourraient utiliser n'importe quel code de référence (ou aucun). Ou ils ne pouvaient rien faire.
  • Presumably, you can change to a slower plan and then speed up too.
  • Flashing light indicates that the modem is trying to synchronize. You can check the cable connection, and then you need to wait. If it keeps flashing after 15 minutes, it suggests a disconnect from the pole. A repair visit is likely required.…
  • You can order a number from voip.ms in the 514 zone (or anywhere else in North America) and then port that number to Fizz. There will be a ~$25 charge to port out from voip.ms, but I know that it works. I've done it for a friend. (I also have a referral code if you want). There is a level of technical ability required that…
