Question / Help Dropping frames on instagib.tv but not on Twitch

I'm having an issue where I'm dropping frames on Instagib, but I'm not on Twitch. Both servers I'm using are based in Chicago. When streaming on Twitch I stay solid and drop no frames with CBR enabled. If I stream to Instagib I drop frames almost immediately. Log of streaming to Instagib:

Is this a server side issue? Others are streaming to instagib fine so I'm confused :(

It's either a server side issue, or the route your connection takes to instagib is worse than the one you take to Twitch. Somewhere along the connection between you and instagib seems to be getting clogged up. Do they only have a Chicago server? It's possible that's the most popular one to stream to and it's simply getting overloaded.

Instagib only runs one server because they are so small. To be honest only around 2-10 people stream there at a time. I'm thinking it isn't their server but the route my connection takes. Is there a way I can tracert to their server to see if a hop is lagging?

Ya must be a routing issue. Anything over 1000kbits seems to take a poo. I was able to stream 480 with no issue but it looks like crap. :(

Doesn't look like much you can do, then. Perhaps try contacting someone at instagib? They might have more insight or be able to change something on their end.
