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.
