I have 7down and 2up internet speed. I can only stream about 60% of my upload or ill lose frames and will lag badly when playing online. When streaming an offline game however I can use about 80% of my upload with very little dropped frames. I should be able to stream 720p with my upload according to multiple sources but I simply cannot. My resolution is set to 1080p then down scaled by 2 (960x540). Can my slow download speed be limiting me? Log file: https://gist.github.com/6a4fffeaceff205a2a7c

Streaming / gaming over wireless is probably your problem rather than any download speed issues.

Your log shows an unstable wireless connection being used. In any case, when streaming online games it is expected that they will require some part of your upload / download bandwidth vs offline games.

hmm thanks. Even when i have an ethernet its the same deal. i have my ethernet plugged into my router thats plugged into my modem. The log i posted i did use wireless. should i post one where i use the ethernet? So the actual streaming doesnt use download? obviously gaming does.. i make sure nothing else is using my internet when i stream also..

All my log files are saying unstable connection even though i used ethernet... any suggestions? Should i try connecting straight to my modem?
