How does the Phone discount on a plan work?
Selected phones at Fizz.ca are identified with a purple stamp showing a percentage discount on your plan. By purchasing one of these phones, this discount will be applied to your mobile plan every month for 24 months. The Phone discount in detail Let’s illustrate with an example. You buy a phone identified with a 24-month 15% discount for your plan. You pay for your phone as usual, paying it upfront or spreading its cost with Affirm. You pair your phone with your mobile plan regularly priced at say $20/month. Your plan comes out then to $17/month ($20 – 15% Phone discount) for 24 months. After the 24-month period, your Phone discount ends and your plan goes back to its regular price of $20/month. No commitment and no minimum plan. Your Phone discount applies to your mobile plan, regardless of its value. And as always with Fizz, there’s no long-term commitment. The Phone discount will be applied to your mobile plan for 24 months, but you can choose to shorten this period. Several plans, several Phone discounts. For every mobile plan in your account, you can purchase a selected phone and take advantage of the Phone discount for that plan. In other words, the limit is one Phone discount per plan. Good to know: Transferring a discount is not possible. The discount remains associated with the plan that was selected when the phone was purchased. Discounts are not cumulative. If you’re already enjoying a discount with your plan, like a BETA price privilege, a Phone discount will replace it. Activating your discount Your Phone discount will be automatically applied based on your situation. With an existing plan: If when you purchase your phone you choose to pair it with your existing mobile plan, your Phone discount will be automatically applied on

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. Depending on your location and needs, you can choose a plan ranging from 30 Mbps to 940 Mbps (see details below). Our upload speeds are 10 Mbps for the 30 Mbps and 60 Mbps plans, and 50 Mbps for all other plans. Discover our Internet 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.
