Prices depend on server quality, CDN cost, transcoding infrastructure, customer support, security layers, and licensing risks. Premium networks invest in anti-freeze balancing, multiple data centers, encrypted delivery, and 24/7 monitoring. Cheap IPTV providers often rely on overcrowded servers, unlicensed feeds, and weak infrastructure, leading to buffering and downtime. Glanfy recommends providers with professional-grade infrastructure, which naturally costs more but delivers long-term reliability.
