Cable in Canada is expensive — $100 to $150 a month for channels you barely watch. IPTV is different. You pay a small fee, get thousands of channels, and stream over your internet. No dish, no cable box, no long contracts.
We spent weeks testing IPTV services right here in Canada on Rogers and Bell connections, on Firestick and Smart TVs, during live NHL games and UFC nights. Here are the 5 that actually impressed us.
