The Cost Difference is Huge
The average US cable subscriber pays $83/month — $996 per year. With Apollo Group IPTV's 12-month plan at $119.99, you're paying just $10/month and getting far more content. That's a saving of over $870 per year for a better service.
UK subscribers on Sky TV pay up to £90/month. Canadian and Australian cable bills are similarly eye-watering. IPTV cuts all of that dramatically.
IPTV Wins on Channels
Cable packages typically include 100–500 channels, many of which are shopping networks and infomercials. Apollo Group IPTV includes 90,000+ live channels spanning USA, UK, Canada, Australia and 80+ other countries — including every major sports network, premium movie channel and news network, all in one subscription.
Who Should Still Use Cable?
Cable TV might still suit you if:
- • You have very slow internet (under 10 Mbps) with no upgrade option
- • You live in an area with unreliable broadband
- • You only need 5–10 local channels and nothing else
For everyone else, IPTV is the smarter, cheaper choice in 2026.
Verdict: IPTV is the Clear Winner
More channels. Better quality. No contracts. 10x cheaper. IPTV wins on every front. The only reason to stick with cable is if you have no reliable internet — and in 2026, that's increasingly rare across USA, UK, Canada and Australia.
