I have been subbed to Coolasice since the beginning of this year. I thought it was about time to give my honest review of what they offer. I have tried to include everything I would personally look for in the following review.

About me

I have been an IPTV end user for 2 years. In that time I have had long term subs with Flawless, Fab and Beams and tried about 10 other services. I have never run, sold or re-sold anything and have no affiliation with any IPTV provider. I checked first with Coolasice admins to make sure they were happy for me to post a review on here.

The Basics

GBP10 per month gets you the full service with 3 connections as standard. You can add up to another 2 connections for £2 each and they don't get funny with you if they are on different IPs. There is a sport-only package for £7 per month. Subs are available as m3u line or MAG. There is a dedicated IPTVSmarters app or you can use any app/program of your choice. Setup is fast and easy, particularly if you've done this before. Payment is monthly by Crypto or PayPal. No annual sub cash grabs and running off into the sunset.

Channels

The service started off UK-focussed with pretty much every UK satellite channel covered. Over time more and more US and Canadian channels have been added including local US networks. There are also a handful of the more useful international sports channels, with NowTV and NBC Gold (and apparently DAZN Canada also coming) for the new EPL season. But you won't find an endless list of thousands of foreign language channels here. The channel line-up is carefully targetted for UK/US and all the better for it. There is a growing list of 24/7 channels too.

There has been a couple of issues with SkySprts channels during the summer off-season but these now seem to be resolved with solid upscaled 1080p/50fps feeds. They don't currently have Globe feeds. EFL iFollow had teething problems last season but I think this was more of a a source issue common across all providers.

9/10

EPG

One of the best features of this service. The EPG is near 100% complete at all times and extremely accurate and reliable. All channels have neat transparent logos and a lot of care is put into the m3u list and channel ordering. This is annoyingly rare with other providers where channel lists are often all over the place. There is no unnecessary duplication of channels. Instead streams are monitored by bots and sources are quickly switched if something goes down.

10/10

Sports Corner

Something that has been taken from Fab and recreated is the excellent Sports Corner. Live sports fixtures from pretty much every sport imaginable are listed in order of start time in one handy category. The list is updated several times a day and includes sources from various countries and online only services like NHL and NBA. Despite being automated, it's generally very accurate. It's a super easy way of finding the match without having to know which network is showing it.

9/10

Support

This is what really sets it apart from everything else I've used. The service via Discord support is second to none. A small team of admins are on hand almost all hours of the day and night to respond to any issues and requests. I regularly see problematic channel sources swapped out, new channels added and channels added to catch up within minutes of the request coming in. Last season UK football blocks were actively worked around.

The guys who run it are always actively looking for feedback, channel/VOD requests and ways they can improve in order to become the best. The community of users on Discord is very friendly and happy to help each other out and give advice to new users. You need to be on Discord to get the most out if this service.

10/10

VOD

I don't use VOD much myself but there is an enormous library of movies and TV shows that is added to daily. More recently they have started to add more sports VOD like F1, boxing, UFC and WWE within 24 hours of it airing. Anything I've tried is in good quality and streams perfectly.

9/10

Catch up

If there is a weak point to the service, it's probably the catch up TV. Catch up is important to me as I am not always able to watch stuff live. The majority of channels are available on catch up and in the top FHD quality. Anything that isn't already covered can be added immediately on request. The playback of catch up can be a bit hit and miss though and sometimes programmes stop halfway through.

There have been a couple of server upgrades and rebuilds in the last few months. While it's not yet perfect, it is continuing to improve and I'll be watching with interest to see how things go in the new football season.

7/10

Overall

I'm extremely happy with Coolasice as a primary IPTV provider. The channel selection suits my needs perfectly. It is reliable and well maintained and the first class support means that anything else I could want is only an IM away. If they can continue to work through the catch up issues and maybe add the best available sources for every channel it would be as good as any service I've ever used.
