As you may have heard the Trump regime recently announced its intentions to repeal Net Neutrality regulations allowing ISPs to throttle, block, and ban any content it feels effects its profit and bottom line. Does this effectively mean the end of IPTV in the US? I don't see any reason why ISPs will not immediately move to block or throttle any and all IPTV providers especially since most ISP providers provide cable services
I am so sorry you have ended up where you are right now.
VPN FTW.
I run vpn on ddwrt router and it connects to my vpn server at digital ocean.
Was your internet shit two years ago?
So much misinformation about it on reddit..
I agree that the cable companies are charging way too much at the same time overloading us with ads. 90% of the reason I looked into iptv.
But I admit I am stealing, and I don’t expect this to last forever...
No. Improper data discrimination is almost non-existent in US history.
Also these pirated IPTV streams weren't protected by the FCC's 2015 Open Internet Orders anyway but yet we can still freely watch these streams despite they have the potential to take revenue away from the ISPs.
So history here shows something not even protected by the FCC's rules and financially damaging to ISPs, still being easily available. It puts all this doom and gloom misinformation into proper perspective.
It probably means most IPTV providers will just tell American customers to fuck off if they become too big of a problem to deal with. I mean, it's not like there aren't OTHER countries out there. In this game, if your customers become unprofitable or even a problem to deal with, it's easy to just say "sorry we do not deal with your country". It's like you think Americans are the only people who subscribe to IPTV. If anything I would say they are probably the minority of the subs, and all that people want is the American content, which is easy enough.
If every customer requires a VPN, it will be too big of a hassle for providers as most users sadly have the technological know how of a monkey. I mean read through some of the support questions and threads in here to give you an idea of the "average" user. So to make it easier, they'll just deny the service if the American corporations make it too difficult. I mean would you want to continually hand hold your customers? Give them complicated setup instructions when most of them can't even program the clock on their microwave when the power goes out?
