Do providers do something to make playback better during big events?

Question

I've experienced this a few times now. Whenever a big event is close the channel starts buffering and having a lot of issues (which I expected because a lot of traffic probably comes through), however as soon as the event itself starts it plays perfectly. Is there something the provider does that makes this happen or have I just been getting lucky?

They stream the ppv events from a different server giving it higher processes and ram and cpu.

You can try the Airtv iptv service, which has 101 channels with the playback function, and I often miss the live broadcast of wonderful sports games, just watch through the replay.
