We sell IPTV, so treat this page with the scepticism it deserves. What follows is our honest attempt at a fair comparison, including the places where cable genuinely wins.
The money
A typical cable or satellite package runs somewhere between $80 and $150 a month once the introductory rate expires, before equipment rental and the sports add-on. Over a year that is $960 to $1,800.
A twelve-month Gold IPTV plan for one screen is $49.99 — a little over $4 a month, with sport and pay-per-view included rather than sold separately. Even the three-screen annual plan at $109.99 costs less than two months of most cable bills.
The gap is large enough that the exact numbers barely matter. For most households, switching saves over a thousand a year.
What you gain
- Far more content — 35,000 channels and 200,000 on-demand titles against a few hundred channels
- No contract — nothing auto-renews, nothing needs cancelling by phone
- No equipment — no box rental, no installation fee, no technician appointment
- Sport included — no separate sports tier, no per-event pay-per-view charges
- Setup in minutes rather than a scheduled visit days away
What you give up
This is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- Your internet becomes a single point of failure. Cable keeps working when your broadband drops. IPTV does not.
- Streams occasionally hiccup. Upstream sources go down and peak-hour load is real. Good providers fix it quickly; nobody prevents it entirely.
- There is no engineer to send. Support is remote, over WhatsApp. Fast, but not somebody at your door.
- Local channels can be patchy depending on exactly where you live.
If your broadband is unreliable, or if you genuinely value having a company legally obliged to send a technician, cable still has a case. We would rather tell you that now than take your money and disappoint you.
Who should switch
Switch if: your internet is stable at 25 Mbps or better, you watch sport across several competitions, you have people in the house who want different things at once, or your bill has quietly crept up since the introductory offer ended.
Stay if: your connection drops regularly, you only watch a handful of local channels, or you would find troubleshooting an app genuinely stressful.
Try before you commit
The only test that means anything is the one on your own connection, on your own television, during the hours you actually watch. Ask us for a trial, run it on a busy evening, and decide from there. Every plan also carries a 3-day money-back guarantee if it does not work out.
