Yip right there with you, ive NEVER been able to get a decent stream on twitch

Twitch even sucks on 100mb/s fibre

Download for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch_5/ or chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...r-twit/bhplkbgoehhhddaoolmakpocnenplmhf?hl=en

Set the delay in the options to different margins mine is perfect between 6-8 secs but have a friend that sets it to like 20 seconds. Once this is done you can watch 1080p streams pretty easily because you are giving the stream a few seconds to buffer.

Was about to add, I am on a 20mb/s fibre line and gave up on twitch. It sucks.

When I had ADSL twitch used to even buffer at the lowest resolution. I haven't watched twitch since going on Rain because the twitch streams I used to watch were all in the evenings

Twitch is just garbage, period.

That's both funny and sad at the same time. Last I recall twitch streams were fine on my end but with all the recent developments I highly doubt i'll have the same experience

Just tested and I can do 720p without any buffering. If I move the quality up to 1080 it will occasionally buffer for less than a sec.

I think it had something to do with latency. Had no problem watching HD livestreams on YouTube.

Thing is.. it was fine.. my telkom LTE was **** for twitch.. now my rain is even worse. Rain was fine even 1080p60.. but as usual some ****nut probably made an executive decision

My shaping was fooled my having speed-test run. if does not work then the traffic is shaped individually.

Telkom has gone to hell the last 2 weeks and i'm getting nothing.
