What Doesn’t Work (or No Longer Worth It)

❌ Old Pastebin lists from 2023–2024 (mostly broken)

Final Thoughts

Free M3U playlists can be fun to test, especially when updated regularly. But in Canada, most public links come with issues like buffering, downtime, or limited channels. If you want long-term stability, a reliable IPTV service is a better choice — and still far cheaper than cable.
