So. My twitch name is L33teh. We stream every friday night at 10pm cst when OBS lets us. Its been happening for about a month. I check my Internets speed consistently and my upload is always higher than 4/mbs but when I stream to twitch through obs it just tanks, barely getting over 800/kbs but when I go into preview mode It shows that im getting 2700kb/s My max bitrate is 2500 and its been working good for over a year. I changed all my settings to fit to twich.tv's standards so they shouldn't be throttling me. My friend who also streams with me has the ability to stream to my channel as well. We use the same stream key. He's able to stream right now to my channel with the same settings and stream key and server provided. We're both even using the same internet. Why in the world is this happening? Sometime both of us arn't able to stream and we get a consistant 800-900/kbs. I don't understand whats going on here. It seems to just work out of random.

But I don't think thats true. At all actually. It happened to 2 people. the exact same symptoms. even as far as going to the kb/s It just goes to 843kb/s freezes up goes to 953 freezes up.and when i try to stop streaming OBS freezes. And makes me end task out of it there fore im liable to think this as an OBS/ Twitch issue

Plus I even went as far as lowering my max bitrate to 800 and the same exact thing happened. even though I was getting 843kb/s

Twitch doesn't throttle. Your ISP does those things.... And you even say that your friend has the same ISP. Follow that guide and read carefully as those things are explained.

Yo, I ran that program and Heres the deets

Upstream: Burst size: 4344-4453 KB;
Shaping rate: 10378 Kbps.

Downstream: Burst size: 21502-22174 KB;
Shaping rate: 53050 Kbps.

All seems to be right here. I Honestly don't know.

Well no, your ISP is throtteling things as you can see in the log.

KBps and Kbps are different things (KiloByte /Kilobit)

that upstream is Burst size: 4344-4453 KB
Shaping rate: 10378 Kbps. converted that is: 1297.25 KB

I have bad news, whether you think it's true doesn't really matter. :) Dropped frames are frames that could not be sent to the ingest server, either because of a network problem on your end, or the ingest server's end, or something in between the two of you, or some combination thereof. That's it, that's all dropped frames are. If you're going to operate under the assumption that the people you're asking for help don't know what they're talking about then I wish you the best of luck resolving your networking issue. *tips hat*
