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...

Try replacing your ethernet cable with a cat 6E , and verify in your settings the connection speed of your ethernet connection. (Ensure you are plugged into the RED port on the PW8, (port 4)).
im using cat 6E and in the correct port
Have you verified your settings for the network? I have an Alienware R16 with a 2.5gbps Killer ethernet port, and the default setting was for 1gbps. I had to manually change the settings. ALSO, my original ethernet cable a Cat 6E was bad, replacing it and fixing the settings were BOTH required for me to get 2.5 gbps speed from my ethernet.
Go into network and internet/ethernet can verify the link speed. I am currently on 500 down/50 up, but yes my equipment can handle MUCH faster. Even though -
I verified my network card in my PC it's a 2.5 GbE internet card. My download isn't the issue. My upload is speedtest shows it's 40 mbps for me. But whenever I'm sending a constant stream for twitch why wouldn't my upload be that. It's why I used OBS provided twitch bandwidth program. It takes the servers they specifically use for hosting and allows me to see what my upload is for streaming.
