What is a 5G mobile network? 5G is the fifth generation of wireless connectivity. It can transmit data up to 4 times faster than 4G LTE. It also allows a huge number of devices, i.e. up to one million per square kilometre, to work together at the same time. Latency (the delay between sending and receiving data) is greatly reduced, which makes everything feel faster and more responsive. At Fizz, 5G is safe. It mainly uses the same frequencies as 4G LTE and complies with all Health Canada and ISED standards, with no difference when it comes to data protection and privacy. The 5G network is used for data only; voice calls still use the 4G LTE network. Depending on your phone model, the 5G icon may still appear during a call. For now, Voice over 5G is not available with Fizz. How can I access 5G? To use 5G, you need three things: Be in a covered area Our 5G network is expanding and currently serves the main urban areas. Check our coverage map to see where 5G is available. Have a compatible device Take a look at the Phone characterisctics section on our site to see if your phone is 5G-compatible. For more details, refer to the technical specifications provided by your phone’s manufacturer. On a compatible device, the option is automatically enabled when you have a compatible 5G plan (after switching to a 5G plan). If not, please check your device settings by referring to the manufacturer’s website. Please note that 5G service cannot be guaranteed on devices that were not purchased from Fizz. Have a plan that includes 5G Make sure you've selected a plan that includes 5G. For an already active line whose plan doesn’t include 5G, you’ll need to change to a 5G‑enabled plan
