This is also becoming and issue on the ISP side. These IPTV services are causing support calls for slow speeds and tv freezes when in reality it is just the pirate streams having issues.

The ISPs are throttling UDP traffic. In my country they’re known to work with local TV provider to block or cripple streams.

  How is that going to work with QUIC?

  Not on my side. We dont throttle anything.

  The pirate IPTV streams are not UDP, they’re HLS vis HTTPS. Often behind Cloudflare.

  A service I am aware of has HTTP streams. Video on Demand streams are rate limited by the server to a fixed rate, which is sometimes significantly under the peak bitrate of the file; and the recommended player device doesn't have a large enough buffer for that. That's 100% a service provider issue. Live streams have some issues too, but I haven't debugged those. On the other hand, ESPN+ live streams aren't exactly five nines of quality either.
