All Fizz Plans Are Now 5G — 4G and 5G Priced the Same
All plans are now 5G — limited-time offer
A new thread on r/FizzMobile surfaced that Fizz has added 5G to all of its mobile plans. Community members quickly confirmed that 4G and 5G tiers are now offered at the same price, including the entry-level 1 GB plan.
The announcement has now been confirmed on the official Fizz mobile plans page, which states: "All plans with data are upgrading to 5G!" — marked as a limited-time offer with the tagline "Grab it before it's gone."
The move is a notable shift for Fizz, which had previously reserved 5G for mid-to-high-tier data plans. Now, every plan from the $10 entry tier upward includes 5G access on the underlying Vidéotron network.
**Important:** Because this is a limited-time offer, 5G access on all plans may not be permanent. If you want 5G at the current 4G-equivalent price, Fizz recommends acting before the offer ends.
What changed
Before this update, Fizz separated its lineup into 4G LTE and 5G plans, with 5G access generally priced higher for the same data bucket. The new pricing structure simplifies things:
| Aspect | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB plan | 4G only | 4G or 5G — same price |
| Mid-tier data plans | 4G cheaper, 5G premium | Same price for 4G or 5G |
| 5G access | Only on select plans | Available on all plans |
Community reports indicate the 1 GB plan is now the same price whether you pick 4G or 5G, which removes the old premium for 5G access. The official Fizz plans page also confirms the upgrade applies to all plans with data, with 5G available in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba.
Which provinces are affected?
Fizz mobile services — including the 5G upgrade — are available in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, per the official Fizz plans page:
- check_circle Quebec: 5G available on all plans with data
- check_circle Ontario: 5G available on all plans with data
- check_circle Alberta: 5G available on all plans with data
- check_circle British Columbia: 5G available on all plans with data
- check_circle Manitoba: Fizz mobile available — community members report 5G observed there as well
Members in Toronto report that 5G makes a real difference in the downtown core, where loading speeds are noticeably faster than on 4G LTE. For most other users, 4G remains more than sufficient for everyday browsing, messaging and streaming.
What existing subscribers should know
Several community members confirmed that the change does not automatically upgrade existing 4G plans:
- check_circle Existing 4G plans stay 4G unless you actively switch to a current 5G plan.
- check_circle Switching to a current 5G plan may cost more if you are on a grandfathered or discounted legacy price.
- check_circle If your current 4G plan is already at a great price, you can keep it — there is no forced migration.
- check_circle Phone-related discounts may not transfer automatically when you change plans, so double-check before switching.
One member noted that the move seems designed around the 1 GB 5G plan while the promo is around, since that tier now offers 5G at the same price as the old 4G entry plan.
Should you switch to 5G?
It depends on your situation:
- check_circle You're on a current-plan price: If your plan is already a current Fizz offer, switching to the 5G equivalent at the same price is a no-brainer — faster data, no extra cost.
- check_circle You're on a grandfathered plan: Compare the total monthly cost. If your legacy 4G price is lower than the current 5G equivalent, staying put may save you money.
- check_circle You rarely hit high speeds: 4G LTE is plenty fast for messaging, maps and streaming. 5G matters most in congested urban cores.

Bottom line
Fizz bringing 5G to all plans with data at 4G-equivalent prices is a significant competitive move against Chatr, Lucky Mobile, Public Mobile and other flanker brands — and the official site marks it as a limited-time offer. If you are on a current plan, upgrading to 5G at no extra cost is worth doing while the offer lasts — just be careful about losing any grandfathered pricing before you switch.
