ok so this it. I have thrown in the towel with this whole streaming thing. The bottom line is that you need at least 900kbps for it to look HALF decent. The problem we face is that while 900kbps CBR is possible, the effect it has on the ping is not sustainable. Pics posted already.
Until I get VDSL or something, Im not gonna waste any more time on it.
Internet sucks donkey balls here man :/
Okay so I'm reviving this thread.
I have the chance to upgrade from a 10mb to a 20mb line. That'll give me an upload speed of around 2mb. Probably hanging around 1.8mb.
I should definitely be able to stream at say 480p, correct? Games like WoW and Battlefield 4.

Most definetly. With my 0.5meg upload I can stream 360p with some slight lag and a huge delay... You should have smooth streaming and a slightly lower delay.
If you start streaming often please link you twitch and I will come and watch
Seeing as this has been necroed im trying to stream(albeit on a 4mb line) but im nto 100% how to use obs and xsplit for soem reason i cant get it to stream the ingame sound ? any help
Check in your settings the sound sources.
Obs is very simple. You should not have many problems with it but if you do they are generally easy to fix.
when i say problems its jsut i want to get the best quality i can(trust me i dont expect miracles on a 4mb) but i jsut was a bit confused abotu how to set the resolution lower and things
Go into settings...
Make sure your bit rate is not super high (check bitrate to 360p or something) video for res, audio for sounds, etc
Upgrade should be done by the middle of next week then I'll link my Twitch account.Most definetly. With my 0.5meg upload I can stream 360p with some slight lag and a huge delay... You should have smooth streaming and a slightly lower delay.

With about 0.8mb up I can stream 480p perfectly fine but 480p is just that...
720p is where you want to be in an ideal world. If 40mbps prices every drop to a slightly more affordable level, I would pick one up in a heartbeat purely for the +3mbps upload speed. I care nothing for download speeds at all... I wish the wizards of telecomms in SA could create a 4mbps up / 4mps down account or something... And I continue to wish.
Duckknuckle, when looking at SP games, you could even try upping your bitrate to 1800 or more and you should be able to stream in 720p I reckon. For example, I tried surgeon simulator the other day and was able to crank my bitrate on OBS to 600 or so. Because there is no dependance on server latency, you can use more of your line to upload therefore improving quality.
Then again, a high quality 480p stream is better than a terrible quality 720p stream.
