7 min read Updated 2026-07-15
Quick answer
IPTV runs over broadband; cable runs over coax. IPTV is cheaper, more flexible, and offers more channels, but requires a decent internet connection.
The Verdict
For 25 Mbps+ households, IPTV wins on every axis. For rural areas without decent broadband, cable still has a place.
