Which speed should I choose?

The ideal speed for your Fizz Home Internet service will depend on the number of devices connected to your network, and the amount of data their online activities require. A plan with a higher speed implies more bandwidth, which will in turn accommodate a larger volume of data traffic.

If you are browsing and checking your email, you will need fewer Mbps. If several people at your address will be watching video streaming or playing games, there will be more data traffic on your network, and more Mbps will therefore be needed to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Our upload speeds are 10 Mbps for the 30 Mbps and 60 Mbps plans, and 50 Mbps for all other plans.

Any access of 100 Mbps or more is subject to the traffic management policy. For more details, visit https://fizz.ca/en/faq/internet-traffic-management-policy

Important.
Along with the speed of your plan, you should not underestimate the importance of your modem’s location, and the distance between the connected device and your modem.
- The location: Don’t install your Wi-Fi modem in the basement, but in the centre of the house, in an open space, without physical obstacles. In other words, hiding it behind the aquarium, or in the back of the closet is not a good idea. Also keep it away from interfering devices like the microwave or baby monitor.
- The distance: The farther away the device, the more the speed decreases, and the device ends up receiving a residual speed.

Here are a few approximate examples of average use (it should be noted that the flows shown in the table are when the wireless connection is ideal, without interference or congestion):
