RapidIPTV Review

by kruptionx

Note: Rapidiptv has channels from multiple European countries. This quick FAQ (review) will only be covering UK and US channels as that's what I primarily use the service for.

My Connection: 100mbps Down, 10mbps up on Amazon Fire TV via Kodi add-on, and Samsung Smart TV via Smart IPTV app.

Q: How Long have I been using the service? A: 1 month ( of a 3 months sub.) Q: How's the picture quality? A: Good, Most of the channels are streamed in 720p. Q: How reliable/stable are the channel streams? A: It depends. I've noticed that most UK channels seem to stream without a hitch but the several US channels seem to suffer from various issues ranging from being offline to massive buffering, freezing and stuttering. Major Offenders are ESPN 1, Cartoon network, SYFY, and comedy central. Also, Buffering seems to be prominent between 5pm PST to 7:00 pm PST on most US channels during these hours. Buffering is also highly likely to occur on US channels airing sports games. Q: Do they offer PPV, NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League pass? A: No. (If they do, I haven't been able to find any.) Q: Can you have multiple simultaneous streams? A: No. You can have multiple devices, but can only have one active stream at a time. Q: Do they have VOD? A: Yes. VOD is available for various countries. Q: Is the service easy to setup? A: yes. I'm a novice to the iptv scene and I was able to setup the service on my smart tv and fire tv fairly quickly. Q: How is their customer support? A: They have good customer support, if you have any question or problems they try to answer you as soon as possible. Though sometimes you may have to wait up to 24hrs for a reply. Note: they have a support forum at their website where you can get immediate help from other members or admins. Q: Would I recommend Rapidiptv? A: Yes, but only if you're looking for UK/European content.

Overall Impressions: Rapidiptv is a great service if you're looking for UK content. Their servers are stable, and their customer service responds within reasonable time if you have issues. During peak hours you may experience blackouts/ buffering while watching. If you're looking for US content or US sports channels you may want to look elsewhere as many of these channels suffer from unavailability and buffering at random intervals or during sporting events. Also, there's no NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL league passes nor PPV events.

I really like Rapidiptv but will be moving on to a different provider because they didn't provide what I'm looking for (US channels + Sports.)

Final Verdict: 3 out of 5 Stars. (4 stars for UK content.)
