Twitch Buffer Issues?

So I am able to stream those supported streams on 1080p. For some reason 720p 60fps still is a bit special, but now that 1080p is playing ball I am MORE than happy to stick to that!

Yeah that sounds more like a Twitch thing?
 
Is that 1080p or "1080p (source)"? I suspect the source video takes a more direct route through their broadcasting network, so that might explain why it works better than the transcoded quality options.
 
Late to the party but I'm on Open Serve - Afrihost 40/20 and now and again also experience buffering. What DNS are you guys using? Had the issues then switched from googles DNS to the isp defined DNS and it seemed to resolve the issue. When I was on telkom switching to googles dns worked sometimes.
 
This was from a user in the CISP feedback thread.

So i did a little bit of testing to my server in the netherlands which i think might explain many of the issues people might be having with twitch and other bandwidth intensive tasks to Europe.

So basically single threaded downloads seem to plateau for me at speeds of +- 600 kb/s
So i tried multi threaded and BAM, i could completely saturate my 100mb/s...
Only thing that bothers me, is that i had to use 32 Threads to do it!

This would explain why twitch for instance is so bad, we are just not getting much throughput on single threaded or single pipe applications.

I'm personally inclined to believe this as back when my VDSL (2/3 years ago) was still new I could stream twitch on Source no problem, any time of day. I still remember watch CSGO majors with zero problems. Then one day boom I could no longer and medium was the new norm. The usage profile of twitch mysteriously changed too. I don't know if its London or the twitch amazon servers but I do seriously feel like we're being de-prioritized as we are not the EU twitch servers intended audience.

I don't think there is anything CISP or anyone in SA can do about this aside from putting pressure on amazon to host AWS and CDN servers here. But this pressure also needs to come from us. Then we'll be able to stream to and from twitch properly and hopefully get some rainbow six siege servers :P

Twitch works at 1080p for me without buffering or lag, over Wifi, with a PSN+ game running and while someone else here is streaming video from Europe. Coolideas 100/100.

What matters is your international speed. My 100Mbps fibre only gets full speed to local servers. International is suffering atm:

Multi-threaded downloads from any location get close to line speed, but that doesn't help most streaming services.

Ask Zoidberg, he gets almost full local speeds to London and Brussels right now. I also get junk international speeds but my Twitch does not buffer, when I tried it 10min ago.
 
But I think it's just third world internet. My relatives in Brussels laugh at my local speeds.

Which fibre network are you on? I might assume that Openserve has a serious issue with international connections or something, but you can't be on Openserve with symmetric speeds. Super weird.

OS really has no influence on local vs international, once they pass the traffic to the ISP...
