If I’m doing iptv I’m better off doing multicast which would conserve loads of BW for something popular like the Super Bowl. Especially if I’m doing this over docsis. You pay for 95th percentile. If that is decided by everyone watching Game of Thrones one day, then using the same resources for Super Bowl the next day will be for free.
