Fizz Mobile is one of the affordable carriers in Canada, operated on the Videotron network infrastructure. The carrier primarily began operating in Quebec in 2018 but has since expanded largely into various provinces across Canada. Most recently, Fizz Mobile has introduced 5G network access and plans.

Fizz Mobile's 5G access is currently available in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, the areas where it supports its core services. Whereas Fizz Mobile's core infrastructure supports 99% of Canadians, 5G access is far more limited, primarily to densely-populated metro pockets within the country. Outside of supported provinces, Fizz Mobile's services leverage partner networks, including Rogers and Bell.

Let's take a look at Fizz Mobile's expanded 5G coverage and how these changes could affect you and your area.

What network does Fizz Mobile use?

As a subsidiary of Videotron, Fizz Mobile runs on the infrastructure of its parent company. When compared to the Big Three and their flanker brands, Fizz Mobile has a much smaller footprint in Canada. Fizz Mobile's 5G access is actively available in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, providing speeds of up to 250Mbps.

Additionally, Fizz Mobile continues to support its 4G LTE service in the same provinces. Uniquely, however, Fizz Mobile also supports 4G LTE in Manitoba. These are the same landmarks that Videotron supports. There isn't any inherent anomaly where the parent brand supports an area within Canada and Fizz Mobile does not. If Videotron is available in your area, so is Fizz Mobile.

Outside of these five provinces, Fizz Mobile is carried on the backs of partner networks. So, in the North and on the East Coast, where Fizz Mobile isn't natively available, service is still supported on an EXT network.

Fizz Mobile coverage by province

Since Fizz Mobile's 5G coverage isn't available coast to coast in Canada, it's best to break down coverage by province. This way, you can monitor the current availability and make a purchasing decision based on your local support and what you need from a mobile plan.

How reliable is fizz mobile coverage?

Overall, the reliability of Fizz Mobile will depend heavily on location. Unsurprisingly, Fizz Mobile is the strongest in Quebec, primarily within urban districts like Quebec City and Montreal. Here, you'll find strong 5G support with the best speeds available on the network.

Additionally, across Ottawa and Southern Ontario, Fizz Mobile operates fairly strongly and reliably. Moving out towards major metro hubs like Edmonton and Vancouver, Fizz Mobile is at its peak in terms of reliability and accessibility.

If you live in a rural area within Canada or the Northern regions, you may experience higher latency when roaming and fluctuations in data speeds. Priority coverage and data access points are much lower and fewer than Bell or Rogers provide their postpaid customers, especially when travelling through EXT network areas.
