Hi there.

Don't know if it's the right place to ask.

So I want to try out the twitch streaming thing. I have 20mb/10mb Openserve Fibre but want to know more info like what is the best isp for twitch streaming and what bitrate server etc is best. I use sstreeamlabs and obs with NDI plug to another pc I use as my download pc (i7 3770k). On my current internet package I can only do 2-2.5mb/s upload to twitch servers. I used the following tool to test

and here is my results

so as you can see my quality is verey bad and upload speed as well.

I tested from my work 10mb/10mb Neotel line and there I can do 6.5-10mb/s with 93-100% quality
 
You should 100% go with Cool Ideas - they have their own Twitch relay (http://twitch.cisp.co.za/) which will allow you to upload streams in ways no other ISP can match. Also, [MENTION=394133]PBCool[/MENTION] is awesome.
 
wow that's awesome. Even using cisp twitch replay server on my current isp it work a bit better. I tested a stream 720p @ 3500Kb/s bitrate no issues. testing the video playback and it worked just fine and streamlabs used to give me lots of errors and now none.

My setup for now is I have my gaming pc (specs below) then I use NDI plugin to stream to my secondary (i7 3770k) I actually use as media/download pc and it works good except I want to be able to do 60fps and ndi plugin is only capped at 30fps does anyone know how to do it?

Oh and I'm only using about 40% of the cpu. I heard cpu encoding is best for quality wise and need less bitrate to get same or better quality than nvenc, quick sync or amd equvalant.

Still my quest continues on how to get the most out of my stream but would also like to know if this is possible. I love the relay server but still my isp still doesn't allow me full bandwidth so can't stream the way I like to but it's still miles better than using the twitch servers directly.

No, this is a low-latency way of getting your stream TO the twitch network
 
Hello, I helped [MENTION=394133]PBCool[/MENTION] setup the CISP relay server.

The general issue i have identified with streaming TO twitch is windows outbound TCP packet scaling is useless. Using the CISP relay i can stream to twitch without any issues, (I stream 720p60fps @ 6000 bitrate - www.twitch.tv/zassie if you want to take a look at the VOD quality)

As for watching twitch, that would be something specific to your ISP. I personally have no issues what so ever watching twitch streams but i think that is because CISP doesn't limit their network at all. Other ISPs might do this, you could try a free VPN and see if watching streams get better, if they do then it is 100% your ISP giving your connection low priority.

I suppose you could tell them that people watching the same stream at the same time on different ISPs have no issue, however, it just seems like they do not really care for the most part.
