It could be a provider issue I'm only getting 40mbps and mine seems OK does freeze from time to time if your ip was getting blocked then you wouldn't receive the channels I think could be wrong hd does take high bb speeds to run smoothly have you tried on sd channels to see if it does it then
 
The speed you have is more than enough Check your router to make sure the Shields have been disabled

I have poor internet speeds. Approx 3-5mb. I live in a rural area with no chance of an upgrade. I can watch Netflix, YouTube etc no problem, would I be able to run IPTV. I was thinking of getting a mag 254/6 to run it. I'd be happy with SD not HD.

nah nothing to do with your IP being blocked. If the SD channels are working fine then it more likely a server issue.

Best thing to do is take out a free iptv trial and use smart IPTV 7 day trial and install it on a smart tv or android box. Then test it. You have nothing to lose. However I doubt that you could get steady HD with it. Maybe SD at 5mb could run well. If you need a server to test out you can find some on here or i can direct you to one.

Just to let anyone who's interested know, I got a Mag 256 and it is working perfectly. I stick to SD streams and I keep the delay set at 10s to stop any buffering.
