I'm not very IT savvy, so please bear with me.
Everything was fine days ago. I was streaming without dropping frames and playing any game I wanted. Now, with the previous settings, I am dropping 75%+ frames (this has only started about three or four days ago). Changing the bitrate to 500 from 2500, I am still dropping 40% of my frames. Here is everything I have attempted to fix this issue per your guide and anything else I could find online:
Called ISP twice. They cleared cache and restarted, which I had already power-cycled previously. They assured that they do not throttle the bandwidth unless I go over 700gb, which I'm currently only setting at 27% usage. They said it's highly unlikely to be the equipment but said to go for it.
Switched to every possible server on Twitch. Ran the twitch tool which was resulting in unstable events in all and averaging shit with a quality of 0 on every server. See below for results. (I ran this over 2 dozen times).
Lowered my bitrate as stated above. I was streaming from NVidia when I first started getting problems and switched to OBS. I lowered it on both, and still got the same result.
I am hardwired. Never been wireless.
Tried streaming to Hitbox.tv. Got the exact same results, possibly worse.
Turned off firewall and antivirus. Allowed port 1935. Don't have any "optimization" or "tweak" programs. (Been on this computer for about 2 weeks and didn't have any on my previous computer either.)
My speed tests are fine, even though they mean nothing. My averages are 162Mbps download and 10.3Mbps through 5 different tests, including one while streaming.
Updated Network Driver. Made sure all other drivers were up to date while I was in there... which they were.
Have not replaced Hardware. I will, since it's recommended, but I just can't see it being hardware since everything else is working fine. I have a roommate that plays games while I do, and I still never had a problem. I'm still playing games while streaming music (yes I did cut that out to test) and he is still playing games just fine. But since it's insisted, I will. I did try a different port just in case. And I cannot plug in directly to the wall ( they use some weird connection that I can't think of the name of which goes to the router/modem).
I still have my previous computer (which I streamed on for about three months with no issues), that I reformatted because I'm about to sell to a friend. I plugged it in, downloaded OBS and got the EXACT same issues. OBS is the only thing on that computer. (I streamed my desktop and was getting 86% frame drops before I closed it out in disgust.)
If you believe there is nothing else I can do besides switching out the hardware, then I will accept that. But I don't believe it. Nothing has changed! I am just having a hard time believing there is something wrong on my end with the computer or connection since everything else is working perfectly. Unless there is something that is not mentioned in your guide.
If you have any advice, or anything that I have missed, I would greatly appreciate your time and effort into fixing this issue.

If there is something else I'm supposed to post please let me know how I can help.
Thanks again.
