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...

If you are getting 40 mbps upload speed then you are fast enough to support 4K streaming. I know it's not the speed you want to see, and there can be a number of reasons why it's at 40, but that speed IS fast enough to support 4K.
Again, have you tried swapping your ethernet cable? I know you said you are using a 6E, but I have see new cables be bad cables.
You are misunderstanding me, I don't need faster upload speed, i need the current amount that I'm paying for which is 40 mbps, I'm only getting 3-4 mbps when I'm streaming and it's highly inconsistent at that. I ended up getting a new cat cable and that didn't improve it at all. I got a technican coming out tomorrow to check in the home to see if any wires need replacing. I will re-iterate what i said earlier. I don't even expect to get 40 mbps for upload but I should be getting way more then the 3-4 mbps I'm getting right now if I'm paying for 40 mbps. Especially if I'm streaming at 4 am in the morning because there isn't any congestion
HumbleGuyGaming, I'm sorry to hear of your trouble with your internet speeds. Glad to hear that we were able to get a technician scheduled to further investigate this. If we can be of any support after the appointment, please email us at cox.help@cox.com.
Any luck getting the signal levels? It would help to see them during the issue and when everything is fine and compare.
which signals levels are you asking specifically about? i have a technician coming out in like the next hour or so. i will keep you. i shouldve specified, it seems to me like everyone is thinking im talking about actually streaming content like netflix, etc. Im talking about live streaming my own content on twitch and that my upload speed isnt consistent for what im paying for. all streaming services work flawlessly its just live streaming is the issue for my upload. WiderMouthOpen please respond to which signals you are asking for. thank you so much
Sorry, I read -- "My upload is speedtest shows it's 40 mbps for me.", and thought it meant you were getting that speed. What did the tech find?
