Alright, so I moved into this house and have been trying to stream to Twitch (as I've been doing for years) with a 300down / 30up connection. It has been awful. We have the most unstable internet known to mankind. I used to have a more stable connection on 60/6. It doesn't matter what I set my bitrate to..I've had it coast at 6k for minutes and then drop to 38kbps...I've set to to 3k and it'll run and then drop to 1k. With a 30up, even if I'm not getting it all..that's a TON of head room for a 5k bitrate..25mb of wiggle room..yet somehow I lose basically all of it.
We've had 3 COX technicians out (they've replaced everything in the house and all the way out to the street), been on the phone/chat/Twitter Dm's with support for a month. They finally said oh, we know what it is. We have a bad node somewhere else. Well, they fixed that today..and although the situation is different..it's not good.
I was getting 2% packet loss randomly prior to the node fix. Haven't tried to test that since.
This is just now running "cmd /k ping google.com /n 100": Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 99, Lost = 1 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 84ms, Maximum = 222ms, Average = 97ms
I went from just really big (and sometimes very consistent) drops..to just about nothing and would end up with like 30%+ frames dropped in OBS. Now it started off slow..and I played for about 20-30min with no frames dropped..then it went to .1%....and stayed..then 10min later .2%..and has climbed since, seemingly getting faster. It is not up to 1.8% dropped frames at 1hr and 50min of broadcasting.
