Biography
Marcus Chen founded IPTV Provider in 2020 with a single goal: to bring transparency to the unregulated world of internet television. Frustrated by the prevalence of unstable, fly-by-night providers, Marcus utilized his background in Enterprise Network Engineering to develop a rigid testing methodology for IPTV services.
Prior to this, Marcus worked as a Senior Network Engineer for a major US Telecommunications provider, where he helped optimize Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for peak-hour streaming traffic. His deep understanding of UDP multicast and HLS protocols allows him to identify the technical bottlenecks that cause buffering—something most reviewers miss.
