Inconsistent upload speeds when broadcasting to twitch
Inconsistent upload speeds when broadcasting to twitch I have had 5 techs come out, all could not solve the problem. Speed test are fine. They always are. I am trying to stream at 6mbs but it never even averages 3mbs, will go from 10mbs to 500kbs in seconds. again before any tech comes on here and asks me to run tests... they are all fine. all 5 of my tech visits for in home and out of home techs all said my speed tests555Views0likes2CommentsInconsistent Upload Speeds Causing Excessive Dropped Frames When Streaming to Twitch.TV
I recently moved back to my home town and Cox is the only ISP in the area that offers decent speeds. I am currently getting 150Mbps/10Mbps speeds via various speed tests. Ever since I've been on this service, I have been plagued with issues broadcasting to Twitch.TV, something I do on the side for a hobby/petty cash. I have done all the troubleshooting a person can do and have talked to more representatives at Cox than anyone would care to! I am so relieved to hear I am not the only person experiencing this. I am a Senior Systems Engineer by trade, I deal with major ISPs and networks on a daily basis. I have even taken a router to test with that retails at over $5,000.00 to prove that it was not my hardware. I have replaced modems, tried different NICs, you name it, I've done it. This is most certainly, beyond any shadow of doubt, and issue with the ISP (Cox). Whether they are purposely "throttling" this traffic or they are just overselling their mediocre service, this needs to be addressed! I am growing rather irritated at the fact that no rep nor technician can pinpoint these issues or even explain them. I am quite certain there are very competent personnel working at Cox that should be able to pinpoint this. It is basic UDP traffic, not that complex. Any other insights, suggestions, rants, testimonies, gripes, wines, or any other constructive chat on this would be greatly appreciated!2.4KViews0likes3Comments
atrociously inconsistent upload speeds as well as connection to twitch.
Hey everyone, I've been a cox customer for 3 years now, and I am a affiliate twitch streamer who is just starting to grow my channel in hopes of doing this full time. Now up until about 4 months ago I was streaming to twitch using the premier package and had no problems, then we had a slew of problems in my apartment complex that effected multiple tenants have EXTREMELY low upload (like less than 1 mbps). During this time I tried many many solutions (including upgrading to the ultimate package) however since then, the speeds seem to have leveled out a bit (only on speedtest.net, still a little inconsistent on other tests) and NOW my streaming to twitch is horrendous, I can only dream of streaming at the quality I used to, something seems to be interfering with my connection to twitch and also my upload in general seems all over the place. I've tried BRAND NEW hardware, I've had multiple technicians come out here and tell me that YES there is something wrong but they can't figure it out, even a supervisor came out and told me the same thing this last Thursday. I have spoke with possibly hundreds of different reps and to no avail. I NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS, I am paying for a service from you guys for a reason and I can no longer use the reason I'm paying for this service any longer. The customer service from you guys have been atrocious, constantly giving me the run around, this has been almost 5 months now I've had this same exact problem with NO help, I've had technicians come out BACK to BACK and all tell me that I have a problem but they don't know what to do. now here is a post on reddit with multiple people who have the SAME exact issue as me https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/4cmxau/cox_is_throttling_customers_who_stream_on_twitch/ here are some of my speedtests: http://testmy.net/db/cesKgYxOW http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6643836876 http://speedof.me/show.php?img=170921181400-3969.png Now I can upload a test directly from my xbox and my ps4 as well if you'd like and they will show uploads that fluctuate from 7-12. even speedtest seems to fluctuate from like 20-30, but like I said my upload is VERY inconsistent, I had a supervisor named walter that was here last thursday and he understood what twitch is (unlike everyone else I have spoken to) and he plugged directly into my line and said that my uploads were low and even he had no clue what to do. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM IT IS NOT SOMETHING ON MY END.10KViews0likes16Comments
