Again, people need to make sure they never pay for more than 1 or 2 months at a time.

Fab has had a very aggressive marketing campaign in the past, complete with affiliate linking and reviews, with resellers pushing one year subs out like candy at Halloween.

In our opinion, these are all red flags. If history shows us anything, it's that resellers and providers have nothing to lose but everything to gain from selling large subs at once. Their responsibility to the customer ends as soon as they get your money.

It's a matter of time before they close up shop and open under a new name or management, and do the same thing again.

We do need to remember though that any provider could have problems that pop up, and express was a good example of this. Their service never went back as good as it once was, but they did return after being offline a bit and offered all their customers some free service and even returned all their resellers credits we all thought were lost. They aren't perfect, but they've been around a long time, and I think customers just expect a certain effort to be put in. Unfortunately though, effort is something fab as struggled with ever since they started. Even when they were running okay, the tech support was just full of false promises and the illusion that they were actually running all their streams themselves with no outside help.

Sorry for the rant boys, but stick to one month subs. Lots of great servers out there!

Especially the admin Jordan is the biggest loser of them all

This is why you should ALWAYS pay for iptv with a payment method that you can easily charge back. Never pay using bitcoin or paypal friends and family. Any iptv that says they only allow bitcoin payment is a red flag.

It is just remarkable how many "ppl" here are defending fab service which is shit for past few weeks. No wonder they got so many downtime since all of the admins and their dwarfs are here defending the "service" that is crap.

Any suggestions for an alternative?

I've used Fab for the past couple of months without issue until this past week, I can appreciate that unexpected issues will pop up from time to time but I wish they were better prepared for them. For example, the different packages need to be compartmentalized at the server level so one going down doesn't take down the others.

I think that up until the past 10 days, they have provided a VERY good stable service. I have a backup, so this is just a frustration to me at the moment. BUT, my biggest concern is that they will no longer accept a credit card payment, which suggests to me that there is possibly much more going on behind the scenes than we may not be aware of. Regardless, although I am now unlikely to renew, I hope it works out for them.

They've had a bad time recently with the DDoS and the UK ISP blocking - its been pretty bad for UK subscribers. If you've been around the iptv scene for a while you have seen all of this before - you cant rely on a single sub - you need 2 to have a chance of backup, and these need to have different source providers (not resellers of the same thing). Instead of getting multiroom - back yourself up with an alternate provider too. I've used about 6 providers including rapid which just fell off the face of the earth when they lost their domain. The only way to guarantee service is to pay for it via satellite. I'll keep fab as when its working properly its excellent and cheap.

Lol, whatever service I choose dies! That's why I always do month to month. On to the next I guess.

FAB IPTV and their admins are a JOKE. IMMATURE, CHILDISH, low tech dudes working from a basement and dream of a BIG LEAGUE. I ditched them after 2 months and it was a great decision. Got charge back from Paypal and now can watch F1, EPL, US channels without buffering. Avoid FAB IPTV at all costs. They are amateurs. Tickets are not resolved and it is only question of time when they will do a runner on customers who paid for long periods.

Quite honestly only subscribe to a service like this if your willing to walk away and loose some money,personally I’ve subbed to fab and I’ve tried flawless and sports mania in the past my expectations have always been low. Your never going to find a totally reliable service at this price point,the nearest I’ve got to it is startreams and they have their downtime

Who is FAB reselling? I thought it was Flawless but saw them deny this in a post. Or perhaps they were and then moved away from them.

/u/CrptoIPTV pointed out that all services will run into problems. It's how they plan ahead for them and then manage them when they occur that matters. I understood Vader recently had problems, due to a rights holder, and they simply extended all their customers subs one week. This is the type of response that actually builds goodwill. Also, simply acknowledging issues are occurring, outlining your plan to rectify them and then communicating throughout, until resolution, will also build people's confidence in the service.

This isn't complicated stuff. Treat your customers well and keep them in the loop and they'll ride out the storms with you.

I just subscribed to Fab with a quarterly subscription and the first few weeks was like fucking heaven on Earth! They were the absolute best service I've ever used. Now it seems like left and right there are fucking problems and it's driving me CRAZY!!! There isn't any type of service announcement on their forum and i cannot access their service, trying through four different methods. I had my dad over for the skins preseason game Saturday and to shoot some pool, how embarrassing it was that the game barely showed up on the TV and kept freezing up. Now just nothing works whatsoever.

FAB is poor as of now. Good I have EPIC to fall back on an d watch EPL games without buffering!

This is IPTV not fucking Sky or Comcast. These are basically men running a huge service out of a shed with little business knowledge on how to handle a difficult situation. I don't mean it as criticism, its just fact. This is the first extremely difficult situation Fab have been put in so cut them some slack. I don't agree with banning people for any reason but that's not my business.

If you bought into IPTV expecting no problems and no faults, you're fucked from the get-go. This is a relatively new thing, you're on the bleeding edge of illegal streaming technology (lol) so there are going to be hiccups for the next few years. I know its frustrating, I'm was pissed as fuck I couldn't watch Spurs vs Chelsea easily but /r/soccerstreams saved my ass for 2 hours.

Fab is shit, they have a good line up but can’t handle any large sporting events I Payed for a month and never continued service. Steamtvnow is who I use. Had some minimal issues with them but they actual host the content and fix the issues fast

Damn you guys are petty ass 10 year olds or something. Fab is great, they have an issue at hand and they’re working on it. Stop crying about tv and go read a book or something. It’ll get fixed eventually.

I bet you got banned for your repeated posts and dumb questions...just being an all around idiot in the forum.

Saw your latest post saying the same story as here, so know who you are over there, and I am glad they stopped your ability to post.

So for any IPTV services that are looking for customers, Id stay away from this guy...because he is going to tie you up for hours with his shit.

Time to move onto something with much better customer support. Check our latest Reviews to see how we improved. http://necroiptv.com
