Slow upload speed when using OBS for twitch
I pay for the 2 gig service from cox which is advertising as 2 mbps download and 40 Mbps upload. Download is great but my upload is literally a 16th of what advertised and its not stable, i unplugged...

results are from three different sites, Fast.com, Speedtest.net, and https://speed.cloudflare.com/
FYI, to get faster then 940-960Mbps download, you need to use LAN port 4, which has a orange stripe next to it and is 2.5Gbps. Everything else are 1Gbps LAN ports.
As for your problem, when did it start? Around the time of the Hurricane? How does the coax get from the street to the room the modem is in? Any splitters/amps/filters? Have you looked at your gateway's signal levels from Connection > Cox Network in the gateway's UI?
this whole time i was an idiot and didnt plug my ethernet up to right port, you literally upped my download speed to more of what im paying for thank you :), up load improved slightly but no where near what im paying for.
Problem started: when i started streaming a few weeks back
coax is ran from one side of the home to the other with out a splitter or anything
how would i look at my gateway level on coxs user interface?
Is that when you know the problem started or just when you started testing for the problem? If you know for a fact it started then, what changed? Also, maybe I missed it, but what changed between getting 2Mbps upload and 30? Were the tests taken at the same time? Did you reboot between tests?
As for how to see your signal levels, go to 192.168.0.1 > user:admin password:password > Connection > Cox Network > Scroll down and look at your downstream and upstream levels. Downstream power should be between -5dB and +5dB or as close to 0 as possible. SNR should be above 36. Upstream should be below 50. You should have 2 downstream OFDM channels and 1 upstream OFDMA channel. These are like the express lanes for your traffic. BTW, they should really make a sticky about this.
also this is using a wired connection on my pc
