Stream bitrate is too high for customer's internet. Constant buffering. A twenty-four-word apology with fix and compensation calms them.
A IPTV reseller in New Zealand uses this twenty-four-word apology: "Bitrate too high for your internet. Lowering from 8Mbps to 4Mbps. Should stop buffering. Here's 10 free days. Sorry."
His Panel IPTV bitrate is adjustable. He lowers it immediately.
A Revendeur IPTV who says "upgrade your internet" blames the customer. The customer can't always upgrade.
Here's why twenty-four words works. "Bitrate too high for your internet" explains why. "Lowering from 8Mbps to 4Mbps" shows action. "Should stop buffering" sets expectation. "Here's 10 free days" compensates. "Sorry" shows care.
The practical implementation is simple. When a customer has constant buffering, check their internet speed. If bitrate is too high, send the twenty-four-word apology. Lower bitrate. Add 10 free days.
What actually works is automatically detecting customer internet speed and setting bitrate accordingly.
