Is my internet good enough for twitch streaming?

LumpySpaceMilk · Sep 30, 2015

Thats my speedtest results. Would it be enough for 1080p streaming?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you only need 3.2 Mb/s for that.

You need about 25% more bandwidth than what the bitrate of the stream is. If you have a 3Mb stream, you need about 3.75Mb of bandwidth.

You are best off looking at the twitch sites for detailed information because your connection is technically good enough but there are other factors. The 3+mbit rate on twitch you hear is mostly related to partnerships since they will not offer it someone who does not have that much. That is only for the video stream you need more to run your games and other things but you are likely ok even on that.

I am no expert on twitch but twitch streamers recommended you start at 720 because when you have low viewer counts the person watching does not have the ability to choose a lower resolution and many people will just not watch if their connection is not good enough. Also many people set the resolution lower when they are on capped internet plans because watching 1080p video will eat 1.5gbyte/hour.
