My first m3u playlist was really good, but when watching the EPL on weekends, I started experiencing freezes. The provider sent me a playlist from another server. Now, the football matches stream smoothly without buffering, but this playlist has fewer channels than the previous one.
Is it normal for servers to have such differences?
If your provider offers different server alternatives, that’s a good sign. Most providers are actually resellers rather than server owners. Those who integrate multiple servers into their system to improve service quality are reliable providers.
I use two separate providers, and the content they offer is entirely different.
The number of channels is not that important. It is constantly updated anyway. It is enough for the broadcast to be smooth.

Yes, but there are major differences, even among European channels. If you want to watch Asian or African channels, you should definitely request a test link from each provider. One of them will certainly be better than the others, achieving full equality is difficult.
I have tried 4 servers so far. One of them had 8k channels. But the one with the largest channel list belonged to another server. It is a great advantage to have all of these in one provider. In the end, the number of channels you'll actually watch doesn’t exceed 100. Some people prioritize the number of channels, while others focus on resolution quality, the variety of VOD content, or sports channels. It's great that the provider offers these choices to those who want them, even if not to everyone.
Russian and German VOD content are my priorities, but I never thought about testing different servers just for this. There's already more content than I can watch.
I just found out that there are differences. Is there a place where channel lists are organized by server?
I asked my provider if it was possible to provide a channel list. They told me that they could only get a list for one server. They sent me about 10 thousand channels in pdf format. All my favorite channels were on the list. So if I encounter a problem one day, I know which server to go to.
I requested updates to the playlist from my provider. They send them every month.
It is especially easy to follow the changes in VODs. I can find the movies that interest me among the newly added ones.
