Gold IPTV vs cable: what you really pay
The short version: Gold IPTV costs from $6.67 a month on a yearly plan, needs no contract or equipment beyond a streaming device, and includes international channels. Cable avoids dependence on your internet connection but usually costs far more and ties you to a contract.

FAQ
Is IPTV cheaper than cable?

Cable does not depend on your internet connection, so homes with very slow or unstable internet may prefer it.
