    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.
    When I first got my 10mb line, I tried streaming at 480p with a bitrate of 600 and the quality was terrible. Looked worse than 144p.

    Hopefully now with an upload of roughly 2mb, 480p will be possible and look great.

    I love watching Twitch, and i wanted to test myself how streaming works, so i've played around and setup OBS and streamed some Rust on my 4MB line, but was just horrible, lots of lag, if i had just 2mb upload, i would have enjoyed streaming myself.

    So I'm upgrading to the 20mb line today. I need a router with VDSL support.

    Can anyone make any suggestions? Maybe something from Asus as I love their layouts.

    I have an Asus RT-N66U router. Great signal strength, allows for cloud storage, normal and 5g signal. So far it has been a very nice router.
