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.
