VOD probably uses just as much bandwidth per stream as Netflix and trying to compete with Netflix using linear IPTV is like trying to turn back time.

The VOD traffic runs on a different VLAN tho. It has it's own network.

Building out a separate network for IPTV is pretty wasteful, and then not letting customers use it how they see fit is just asking for these kinds of problems.
