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.
When you are connected to any server, you are at the mercy of the server as to the actual upload speed. They can and will limit bandwidth based on the number of concurrent connections; however, seeing the variation in the various test sites for upstream makes me think there may be an issue on our end.
