IPTV streaming and buffering

by Crocodilean

If say, just as an example, a consumers download rate is 80 Mbps at user end why do some channels still buffer? Questioning the IPTV supplier, they say their servers are fine and are streaming perfectly well so why does IPTV streaming buffering happen during its path to the consumer?

Sometimes a channel won't buffer and streams perfectly well whereas at other times it buffers.

Does anyone know why buffering occurs with streaming IPTV?

Does it happen along the pathway to the consumer?

Why does it happen?

What causes buffering?

it could be a number of reasons from my experience. The first thing i do is check my side of things i'd imagine there's nothing more frustrating than for people to ask why is my IPTV buffering and they haven't done basic checks.

With your question you haven't given enough information to go on to determine why your service is buffering. Is it a wired connection or a WIFI, What app or box are you using, are you in a room where the router is a 100 meters away, how many people are using the wifi at home at the same time is someone downloading a huge 4k video using torrents, Are you using a VPN that is connected to india which reduces your bandwidth, is the Wifi using 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz

Yes some of these seem far fetched but you get the general idea. personally the best thing to do is to have another device (preferably mobile ) that's linked to your IPTV sub and if that's working fine then u more or less know its to do with whatever u have connected to your TV

use wired connection only .. from modem to your device

vpn can cause this

it can be the device your using .. if you using a computer to watch it can also be it ..

what are you using to watch it with .. an app or vlc or kodi ?

I use iptv simple client in kodi and works good for me on a 1gb v88 android box.

it can also be the location of the iptv servers and how far away they are from you ..

this is why you have to try many iptv sites for a free test to see how things go ..

iptv I can recommend are fab iptv and wss premium iptv

My friend was having buffering issues, he turned on his VPN and the buffering stopped. It played flawlessly. It could be your ISP is throttling.
