Question / Help Connection issues

[Chris Scars]

I recently upgraded my internet to have a better upload speed. I originally had a 50mb↑3mb↓ now it is 150mb↑10mb↓. I did a test on Twitch bandwidth test and speedtest.net. I had TS running and steam that way it could have those both going to see the impact they would have and my antivirus on a profile for gaming(bitdefender). The issue i'm having is that my feed drops tons of frames, but I have a sustainable upload speed. Is it just that my upload speed to twitch servers isn't getting the connection necessary to stream?

Use the Twitch Bandwidth Test to find the best Twitch server to stream to. You can also click the Share Result button to upload a screenshot to Imgur, which can then be copied and pasted here. Get TwitchTest from http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester .

It doesn't add up to me why the huge difference.

Looks like your ISP is either throttling video RTMP streaming massively or they have like no bandwidth at all to Twitch servers. Try with a free VPN if it makes things better, than blame your ISP.

If there are throttling me is a vpn ideal?

Not only is your bandwidth insufficient for a decent quality stream, but with a quality rating of "0", most of your packets are NOT making it to twitch.

As to the VPN angle: If you use a VPN and it works correctly, that means your ISP is throttling you/stopping you from streaming. What to do afterwards depends. Maybe get a new ISP? Maybe get a better connection? etc.

Also, you are correct. Streaming through a VPN isn't ideal, but it's a potential troubleshooting step. There are also websites that test for throttling on the ISP level for port 1935 and/or RTMP streams, so you could use one of those to test and check as well.
