unstable upload speed/stream
Ok. How come last night im able to have a stable steady 1080p 60fps stream, but tonight its a buffering mess with under 30 fps? checked out speed tests and found out im getting half the upload speed i Used to get. I'm forced to now stream in 720p and that still doesnt improve my frames and bit rate shouldnt have to dip below 4500, it would be extremely unoptimal

I am having the same problem. My son came to me and said he's been able to stream until 2 days ago. We have reset the modem multiple times. I upgraded to gigablast last week. Our upload speed is 35, but is running right now at 15. I am so aggravated.

Mine is even worse. Using dynamic bitrate with streamlabs OBS I was dropped to 75 bits per second, reducing my stream quality to an unrecognizable blur. If I disable this and set my bitrate to 3500 (normal for twitch) I drop 80% of my frames and frequently disconnect within seconds of starting my stream. On speedtest.net I can't even get 1mbps upload. 200mb down is great, but next to no upload is killing me. I've tried adjusting DNS settings, I always use a hardwire connection straight to the modem. My fans have been asking where I've been and why I'm not streaming, and I'm losing subscriptions. I lost my job due to COVID and streaming on twitch is my only source of income right now. My Cox connection has literally killed my job.

I know how exasperating it is to have slow upload speeds while streaming. Are you having issues intermittently or are your upload speeds always bad? Also are there any splitters or amplifiers that are connected to the coaxial that is screwed into the back of your modem? If so can you please bypass any splitters/amplifiers and plug it directly into the wall from the modem?
