IPTV Buffering

[superal]

Can someone explain why IPTV buffers / freezes say for 1 minute but then starts again from where it stopped ? Is it the IPTV companies server or my set up ? 400 Mbps download and same upload

How many times have you started a similar thread now?

It could be your setup or the IPTV providers setup  or any other link in the chain between  the 2 of you,   if you are half a world apart  then there will be many  intermediary servers between you and the IPTV provider  any one of which can cause the buffering......want guaranteed no buffer ?  then download to local USB drive or NAS server in your control first and watch it from there.

It's a mystery of life, most likely IPTV servers, but could be a temporary issue with your broadband, happens to 3BB sometimes

It's an internet problem, pure and simple. Either with your ISP and/or VPN or your IPTV providers ISP or VPN

Did you ever see an iptv service promoted that didn't say, we are the best, guaranteed no buffering?
