IPTV Anti Buffering Tips

There is a common misconception about the origin of buffering.
Buffering (freezing) is directly related to the speed and stability of the client internet connection (emphasis to stability) and not to Streaming Servers with 10Gb upload connections.

It's important to understand that buffering is an issue that customers need to address on their end and there's very little that IPTV providers can do about it.

The most common causes of buffering are low or unstable internet connection, other users hogging the bandwidth in your house, wrong LAN setup, weak WiFi signal, ISP speed throttling, bad IPTV Player among several other factors.

Do you have lots of users in your home? Disconnect them all and try again.
Are your devices connected Wirelessly? WiFi is not suited for watching IPTV, connect your devices via ethernet cable to enjoy smooth watching without interruptions.

Please follow Best IPTV Anti Buffering Tips for the best IPTV experience.

  8. Restart Internet Router
  9. Restart IPTV Device

BestIPTV channels are broadcasting in extremely high quality, so make sure you're connecting via a fast and stable internet provider. You can test your internet stability - stability is as important as speed - using this tool . Keep in mind that a minimum connection speed of 25Mbps is highly recommended.

The bottom line is that client connections are responsible for buffering, not IPTV Providers.
