Do all IPTV services buffer?

by BoyToyDrew

I've tried 5 different IPTV services, most of the channels buffer? My internet plan is 160 Mbps DL so my connection isnt an issue.

Can anyone recommend a service where it doesn't buffer as much? It seems I cant watch any random channel without it buffering every minute.

Edit: Holy hot damn, increased my Nvidia Shield's buffer size worked... In the past 24 hours, I have not had a single buffer on the channels I like! Thank you /u/mewacebiz !

Just because you have a fast internet speed doesn’t mean its not your network. What device are you using? Are you wifi or hardwired? Have you done speed tests in the actual device being used? Are you sure your ISP isn’t throttling you?

There are lots of possibilities and your connection is the most likely issue. Every service will buffer. Some just a little bit on a handful of channels and some a lot on most channels. However, if you have tried 5 services and they all have a lot of buffering, I would say the issue is likely on your end.

Defo you have ISP/Equipment issues. At least the big providers service should work mostly fine, a buffer here and there during the day is fine, but not every minute. Try a VPN, maybe your ISP filtering throttling IPTV.

what box are you using?

have you tried increasing the buffer size, it normally takes care of the buffering issues.

I have a private provider with his own servers. What country do you need?

Before I complain to my provider, I reboot box, router, switch, and change ethernet cable. Every one of those has been a problem at one time or another. And then I check my backup sub and free sources and check my second box to see how they are behaving. .
