Frequently asked questions
Cancel Fixnet: The Right Way to Do It
How to cancel Fixnet in canada and protect your consumer rights
Understanding Fixnet and when to cancel
Fixnet is a Canadian internet service provider serving residential and small business customers across Quebec and neighbouring provinces. The company delivers broadband connectivity, account management tools, technical support, and optional equipment installation to keep you online. You may have signed up for a specific service package, but your needs or circumstances change over time.
You might decide to cancel Fixnet because you are relocating to an area outside its service territory, switching to a competitor offering better rates or faster speeds, or downsizing your bandwidth requirements. Some customers cancel after experiencing recurring billing errors or service quality problems that the provider failed to resolve. Whatever your reason, cancelling internet service requires you to follow specific legal steps to avoid hidden fees and ensure you receive any refunds owed to you.
Yafee helps thousands of Canadians navigate service cancellations with confidence. This guide walks you through your consumer rights, all cancellation methods available to you, and the exact steps to disconnect safely without losing money.
Gather your Fixnet account details before you start
Before you contact Fixnet, pull your most recent bill or account statement. Note your account number, service address, and the date your current billing cycle ends. This information accelerates the cancellation process and reduces the risk that your request gets mislabelled or delayed.
Check your contract documents or online account portal to determine whether you are on a fixed-term contract or a month-to-month plan. Fixed-term contracts often include early termination fees (also called cancellation penalties), while month-to-month arrangements typically allow you to cancel with minimal notice and no financial penalty. Understanding your contract type protects you from unexpected charges.
Review what services you actually use
Examine your bill for bundled services, equipment rental fees, or add-on subscriptions you may have forgotten about. Some customers discover they are paying for static IP addresses, premium support plans, or modem rental charges they no longer need. Identifying these charges now means you can negotiate a waiver or credit before your cancellation takes effect.
Your consumer rights when cancelling internet service in canada
Canadian law grants you specific protections when you cancel any service contract, and Fixnet must honour those rights.
Federal protections under the canadian consumer protection act
The Canadian Consumer Protection Act is the foundational federal law that protects your right to fair treatment. Under this Act, Fixnet must provide clear, truthful disclosure of all fees, contract terms, renewal conditions, and cancellation clauses before you sign. If Fixnet misrepresented any term, buried a penalty in fine print, or failed to disclose the full cost of service, you have grounds to cancel without penalty and request a refund.
The Competition Bureau enforces the Act and investigates deceptive marketing practices. If Fixnet engaged in false advertising, bait-and-switch promotions, or misleading billing statements, you can file a complaint with the Competition Bureau's online portal. This agency can force the company to stop the practice and sometimes award compensation to affected customers.
Provincial consumer protection laws
Your province may have additional protections beyond federal law. In Quebec, the Law on the Protection of Consumers gives you explicit rights to cancel distance contracts (including online or phone sign-ups) within a specific cooling-off period if you change your mind. Other provinces have similar consumer protection statutes that require clear contract language and fair cancellation terms. Yafee recommends you check your provincial consumer protection authority's website to confirm your local rights.
Telecommunications regulation and the CRTC
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates telecommunications providers like Fixnet and has authority over billing disputes, service quality complaints, and contract enforcement. If Fixnet refuses to honour your cancellation request, imposes an unjust fee, or fails to disconnect your service within a reasonable timeframe, you can escalate your complaint to the CRTC for independent review. The CRTC can order Fixnet to refund charges and comply with your cancellation.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel Fixnet at any time. The only lawful charges Fixnet can impose are those explicitly stated in your signed contract or disclosed before you agreed to service. Any penalty must be reasonable and proportionate to Fixnet's actual losses. If Fixnet demands an excessive cancellation fee or refuses to explain its calculation, contact the CRTC or your provincial consumer authority.
Four ways to cancel Fixnet and which method protects you best
Fixnet accepts cancellations through phone, email, postal mail, and online account portals. Each method has different advantages and risks.
Cancel Fixnet by phone (fastest method)
Calling Fixnet customer support is the quickest way to cancel because you receive immediate verbal confirmation and a confirmation number on the spot. The agent documents your request in real time, and you can ask questions about refunds, early termination fees, or service disconnection timing.
Locate the regional contact number on your most recent bill or Fixnet's website. For customers in the Blainville region, the number is +1 (450) 433-1414. Have your account number and service address ready when you call.
- Call the Fixnet customer service number for your region during business hours.
- Confirm you are speaking to a representative before stating your cancellation request.
- Provide your account number and full service address.
- State clearly that you want to cancel your Fixnet service and ask the representative to confirm the effective cancellation date.
- Ask whether any early termination fees apply and request the calculation in writing.
- Request the representative email you a cancellation confirmation with the confirmation number.
- Note the agent's name, the date and time of your call, and the confirmation number provided.
- Save any confirmation email you receive.
- Confirm the service disconnection date and ask whether you need to return equipment.
- Ask if Fixnet will collect equipment or if you must ship it, and who pays for return shipping.
Cancel Fixnet by email (safest method)
Sending a written cancellation request by email creates a permanent record that proves you cancelled and when. Email is slower than phone, but it protects you if a dispute arises later because Fixnet cannot claim they never received your request.
- Compose a brief email to Fixnet's customer service address (check your bill or website for the correct email).
- Use the subject line: "Request to cancel Fixnet account [Your Account Number]".
- Include your full name, account number, service address, and phone number.
- State: "I request cancellation of my Fixnet service, effective [insert your preferred date, at least 30 days from today if your contract requires notice]."
- Ask Fixnet to confirm receipt and provide a cancellation confirmation number via return email.
- Send the email and retain a copy for your records.
- Note the date and time you sent it.
- Allow Fixnet 2 to 5 business days to respond with a cancellation confirmation.
- If you do not hear back within 5 days, follow up with a second email or call customer service to confirm they received your request.
- Once you receive written confirmation, save it indefinitely.
- This email proves you cancelled and protects you if Fixnet later claims you owe charges.
Cancel Fixnet by postal mail (most formal method)
Mailing a written cancellation request creates a legally binding record and is particularly useful if you are disputing a contract term or expect resistance from Fixnet. Use registered or tracked mail so you have proof of delivery.
- Write a formal cancellation letter that includes:
- Your full name and account number.
- Your service address.
- The date the letter is written.
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Fixnet service effective [insert date at least 30 days from the letter date]."
- Your phone number or email address so Fixnet can confirm receipt.
- Use Canada Post's Registered Mail or Xpresspost service with tracking to send your letter.
- Keep the tracking number and receipt.
- Mail your letter to the Fixnet business address listed on your bill.
- If no address appears on your bill, call Fixnet to request the correct mailing address for service cancellations.
- Wait for written confirmation from Fixnet, typically within 10 business days.
- If Fixnet does not respond, follow up by phone or email to confirm they received your letter.
Cancel Fixnet through your online account (if available)
Some internet providers offer a cancellation option within their customer portal. If Fixnet's website or mobile app displays a "Cancel Service" link, you can use it to initiate the process online. However, online cancellation may not generate an immediate written confirmation, so follow up by email or phone to request proof in writing.
- Log into your Fixnet account on the company's website or app.
- Look for a menu option labeled "Account Settings," "Billing," or "Service Management."
- Find and click the "Cancel Service" or "Request Cancellation" button.
- Answer any prompts asking why you are cancelling and what date you prefer.
- Submit the cancellation request and note any confirmation number displayed.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.
- Email Fixnet customer service to request written confirmation of your online cancellation request.
- Include the date and time you submitted the request and any confirmation number provided.
Understanding fixnet's cancellation fees and your refund rights
Fixnet may attempt to charge an early termination fee if you cancel before your contract ends. You must understand whether this fee is lawful and how to dispute it.
When Fixnet can legally charge a cancellation fee
If you signed a fixed-term contract (usually 12 or 24 months), Fixnet may charge an early termination fee if you cancel before the term expires. However, this fee must be reasonable and proportionate to the company's actual losses. Under Canadian consumer law, a penalty is unreasonable if it far exceeds Fixnet's real costs (such as equipment write-downs or lost revenue). Fixnet cannot charge a flat fee of $500 or more without clear justification.
If your contract is month-to-month, Fixnet cannot charge any early termination fee. You can cancel with minimal notice (typically 30 days) and no penalty.
Dispute an excessive or unexplained cancellation fee
If Fixnet charges a fee that seems unreasonable or refuses to explain how it was calculated, challenge it. Yafee recommends the following approach:
- Request an itemized breakdown of the cancellation fee in writing.
- Ask Fixnet to explain the exact costs that justify the fee amount.
- If the fee appears excessive or unjustified, send a formal dispute letter.
- State: "This cancellation fee is unreasonable and not permitted under the Canadian Consumer Protection Act. I request immediate removal of this charge and full refund of any amount already paid."
- Send the letter by email or registered mail.
- If Fixnet refuses to remove the fee within 10 business days, file a complaint with the CRTC or your provincial consumer protection authority.
- Include your contract, the fee invoice, and your dispute letter as evidence.
- The regulator will investigate and may order Fixnet to refund the disputed amount.
- Regulatory action is free and typically resolves within 60 days.
Request refunds for pre-paid service and deposits
If you pre-paid your service or deposited money with Fixnet, you are entitled to a refund of any unused balance. Once your cancellation is effective, Fixnet must refund this money within 30 days (or the timeframe specified in your province's consumer protection law).
Request the refund explicitly in your cancellation communication. For example: "I also request a refund of my $[amount] equipment deposit and any pre-paid service balance. Please confirm the refund amount and the payment method in your cancellation confirmation."
If Fixnet does not refund you within 30 days of disconnection, contact the company's billing department in writing and escalate to the CRTC if necessary.
Timing your cancellation and understanding disconnection deadlines
The date you cancel and the date Fixnet actually disconnects your service are two separate milestones. Understanding the timeline protects you from unexpected charges.
Minimum notice periods and contract requirements
If your contract specifies a notice period (commonly 30 days), you must submit your cancellation request at least 30 days before your desired disconnection date. If you fail to meet this deadline, Fixnet may charge you an additional month of service fees. Always calculate backwards from your preferred last day of service and submit your cancellation request early.
For month-to-month plans, check your contract or bill for the minimum notice required. Most Canadian internet providers require 30 days' notice, but some allow cancellation with less notice.
Confirming your effective disconnection date
When Fixnet confirms your cancellation, insist on a specific disconnection date. This date should align with the end of your current billing cycle to avoid paying for unused service. For example, if your billing cycle ends on the 15th and you want to cancel, request a disconnection date of the 15th.
Save the disconnection date in your calendar. On that date, verify that your service is actually offline. If Fixnet does not disconnect you by the confirmed date, contact customer service immediately and request a credit for any charges incurred after disconnection.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancelling internet service is straightforward, but small errors can cost you money or delay your disconnect. Yafee has helped thousands of Canadians sidestep these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: failing to request written confirmation
If you cancel by phone and do not request written confirmation, you have no proof you cancelled. Fixnet may later claim they never received your request and bill you for additional months. Always ask the phone agent to email or mail you a cancellation confirmation with a reference number.
Mistake 2: not calculating your contract end date
Many customers do not realize their fixed-term contract expires on a specific date. If you wait too long to cancel, you trigger auto-renewal and lock yourself into another year of service. Calculate your contract end date now and submit your cancellation request at least 60 days before that date to avoid renewal.
Mistake 3: forgetting to return equipment
Fixnet may charge you a non-return fee (typically $100 to $300) if you keep their modem, router, or other equipment after disconnection. As soon as your cancellation is confirmed, ask Fixnet how and where to return equipment. If the company does not provide return instructions, send a follow-up email asking for a shipping label or pickup arrangement.
Mistake 4: not documenting the service quality problems that justified cancellation
If you are cancelling because of poor service or billing errors, keep detailed records: screenshots of slow speed tests, emails from customer support, photos of service interruptions, and copies of incorrect bills. This documentation strengthens your case if Fixnet disputes your cancellation or you need to file a complaint with the CRTC.
What to do immediately after you cancel Fixnet
Your cancellation does not end on disconnection day; there are critical steps you must take to protect yourself and recover any refunds owed.
Confirm your service is actually disconnected
On or shortly after your confirmed disconnection date, test your internet connection. If it is still active, contact Fixnet immediately and ask for expedited disconnection. Request a credit for any service used after your cancellation effective date.
Monitor your account for unauthorized charges
For two billing cycles after cancellation, review any statements or bills Fixnet sends you. If you see charges for service after your disconnection date, contact customer service and dispute them. If Fixnet does not reverse the charges within 10 business days, file a complaint with your bank or credit card company to initiate a chargeback.
Collect your final refund
Fixnet should issue a final refund within 30 days of disconnection for any pre-paid balance or deposit. If the refund does not appear, contact billing and request a tracking number. If the company delays beyond 30 days, escalate to the CRTC with proof that you requested the refund.
Switch to your new internet provider on time
Coordinate your Fixnet disconnection with your new provider's activation date to avoid internet downtime. Most Canadian internet providers can activate service within 1 to 7 business days, so submit your new service order at least 2 weeks before your Fixnet disconnection date.
