Stop Overpaying: Cable TV vs. IPTV Comparison 2025 � Save Over $1,000 Annually

Traditional cable and satellite TV bills continue to climb, while their flexibility, channel diversity, and upgrade speed fall woefully behind the pace of modern technology. In 2025, more American and Canadian households than ever are making the decisive move to **cutting the cord** and switching to premium IPTV services like **Storuno IPTV**.

Storuno IPTV delivers thousands of live channels, premium networks, comprehensive sports coverage, and expanding 4K quality�all at a mere fraction of the cost of legacy providers. Below is a simple, data-backed comparison of **Cable TV vs. IPTV** to help you determine if it's time to cancel that expensive, restrictive cable contract for good.

1. The Unbeatable Cost Difference: IPTV Subscription vs. Cable Bill

The average US and Canadian cable package (when factoring in hidden fees, regional sports surcharges, box rentals, and taxes) can easily reach **$120 to $150+ per month**. An IPTV subscription, optimized for Firestick, Smart TV, or mobile, delivers superior content for dramatically less.

Annual Savings Snapshot

Over a typical five-year period, those savings compound to more than **$6,950**�a significant budget reclaim that can be invested in anything from a faster internet connection to a brand new 4K TV.

2. Superior Content: Thousands of Channels & VOD in One Place

Cable forces content behind restrictive tiered packages and regional restrictions. Storuno IPTV delivers broad access under a single subscription. Storuno IPTV offers thousands of live channels including:

• Comprehensive Sports: All essential US Sports networks (ESPN, FOX Sports, NBA TV, NFL Network) plus all **Canadian Coverage (TSN 1�5, Sportsnet regional feeds)**, eliminating regional blackouts.
• Premium Entertainment: Major movie channels and premium series networks.
• Global & International: Regional & International news, lifestyle & specialty networks from multiple countries, catering to diverse North American audiences.
• PPV & Live Events: Major fight nights and seasonal sports events (when scheduled) are consolidated.
• Video On Demand (VOD): A vast library of movies and series is included, consolidating the need for many separate streaming apps.
