Question / Help Cant stream to Youtube due to insane frame drops (Started happening 2 days ago)

Hello there

On Tuesday I was streaming Mass Effect: Andromeda on Youtube, it was all fine, like it always was. I never had any problems. My settings are the simple default ones. The bitrate is 6000, 1080@30fps. Its just use my Elgato HD 60 and a microphone. But then I took a few hour brake (had to do some stuff) and I wanted to stream for a few hours in the evening. So I try to stream, It game me an error saying connection to the server failed. So I changed the stream key. It worked, but when the stream started, I had 90% dropped frames, It was insane, and it kept being like that even until now. I tried lowering my bitrate and resolution to 720p and 4000bitrate. My CPU when I stream is at around 30-40% usage. My hardware isn't the bottleneck I'm sure. I tried resetting my router, changing cables and all, disabling antivirus and firewall... It did nothing, still same issue. When I try streaming to twitch, it works perfectly.
I thought at first its their server issue, but I see lots of people streaming fine.

My PC specs are:
i7 3770k
MSI Radeon 7850 Twin Frorz III
8GB of DDR3 1600 ram
A 1TB HDD.
A 550W Seasonic PSU

Here is the log file link. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/16c2f973b6dbd371f475f89c45f4845b

On a side note: when I lowered the bitrate and resolution, dropped frames got to 40-60%, which is still bad, because all the streams I done, I never had a single dropped frame.

Any tips and help would be appreciated... I would just end up blaming Youtube and screw it, because it started happening out of no where the same day I had a good stream, but I would love to hear your insight on this guys :/

Thanks for the reply. I checked everything already. Nothing could be causing the problem. I can stream to Twitch fine tho. So ill just call it on Youtube. I even tried lovering the bitrate to 2000 and 720@30. still dropped frames.

Stream health says its all good, but the stream itself is like 1frame per minute lol. Ahh shame, I built up to 1400 subs with streaming and youtube, now ill have to drop it because the stupid service sucks bawlz hahaha. Again, thanks for the reply.

EDIT: I also tried streaming with Xsplit and Elgato. Xsplit doesnt even respond when streaming to youtube now (I used to stream with Xsplit and it worked perfectly) and Elgato software doesnt work either, says low bandwith lol.
I called my internet provider, they said everything is perfect on my side. My speed is 100down 100up. Fast and stable internet.
