I’m thinking about ditching my cable and streaming one of the IPTV services available. However, I’m confused about which provider to use. I’m interested in someone that can provide local and Canadian channels, sports and HBO. Anyone with IPTV experience? Please share

Finally an opportunity for me to give back to terb!!
I have tried Ipguys, Ok3, and vader stream. All are pretty good, but I like Vader the most because of their platform and community. You can stream from your web browser, their apps, perfect tv, and Kodi. They have all channels from US, Canada, India, Korea, and a lot more. Pretty decent for $15/month

I have ATOP, not really impressed with the quality of the streams...I will try one of Danny's suggestions above.
Just bought DAZN streaming service for sports, the picture quality is excellent.

Your not getting any buffering with dazn?
I heard with IPTV not to pay in advance because they keep shutting them down.
No buffering with DAZN so far. Just watched Ajax and Tottenham.
ATOP is monthly billing, you do pay at the start of the month.
I want to ditch my cable and get DAZN as well. But there were problems with their picture quality. Guess, they have rectified it. Also, want to get ComWave. Has anyone tried it as they are offering it for just $89.99 per month, including Sports TV channels and around 70 other Channels, Unlimited Internet and Home Phone as well. They claim that it is free for 6 months. What's the catch??
I paid a for a one month subscription to clearstreamz ($10 USD) installed it on the GSE smart pro app (on Apple TV 4) and started streaming. Great picture, all the content I need (includes season 8 GOF ) just trying to figure out how to upload closed captioning. I’ll beta test it for the month and if I like it, goodbye Rogers’s.
Google "ComWave problems", there's lots. I was going to get them but all the warnings put me off.
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, their reviews are the worst that I have ever come across among the Cable / Phone / Internet providers.
Others have mentioned bad reviews. My note is that their Home Phone is not the classic POTS land-line that operates during hydro-outages with its own power. Your phone(s) get re-routed to a Voice Over Internet Phone modem, which depends on a constant electrical feed. The other catch is that your 911 now depends on ComWave keeping it up to date on where your number is located, because the VOIP phone could be anywhere in the Internet universe.
Took a peek at Comwave - thanks to this thread. Interesting note to share -
Even the biggest package (bundle) at $129.95/month tops out at 75mbps download and 10mbps upload. While this is 'enough' it's just enough and those used to faster services will feel the difference.
Also remember Comwave is not the 'last mile' service to your home - that would be Bell/Rogers/etc with the infrastructure in your are that Comwave partner's with. Why is this important? If you have an issues with your connection it can be DAYS getting it fixed because you're with a partner (Comwave) and not the last mile carrier directly.
In my Mississauga home I have 1000mbps download and 30mbps upload with Rogers for $104.99/month (no contract, regular price). Add in Youtube, Netflix (I pay for a 4 person account so 3 family members can all use it as well) and Amazon's Prime (netflix like service) - I'm basically set. I clicked on this thread (thank you all) to see and learn about the only gap I have left - live T.V. (i.e. sports) when I'm in Mississauga - Big Thanks to Danny46709394 - I think Vader is the piece I'm missing.
Fast reliable internet only from the best provider to your location (Bell or Rogers or Cogeco or etc), Youtube, Netflix, Prime TV and Vader or the like - suddenly the idea of paying $50-100/month for traditional T.V. service filled with COMMERCIALS (argh) just seams...silly.

Of course, traditional TV service is free OTA. It's already paid for by all those commercial advertisers, so the broadcasters give it away.
It always seemed silly to pay an ongoing monthly charge just to avoid buying your own low-cost antenna to put the signal into the cable that feeds your TV.
Step 1: Get very fast internet. I have Rogers 500mbps down
Step 2: Buy a Dreamlink T2 box
Step 3: Sign up with a subscriber for $15/month (I have 2 of them. A local one http://www.gtaiptv.ca/ and a European one www.upmaker.org)
Enjoy your 50,000+ channels
