Question / Help Frame drops to twitch.tv (EU server)...

My current problem is: i drop frames when i try to stream on twitch.tv on any EU server avaliable.

Here the dump file:
https://gist.github.com/80cfc067f3d0a45af822

My connection is limited to 3,95mbps (floating, 3,8mbit/s is always avaliable) so i cant go higher.
Streaming to other sites like gaminglive.tv is working great. No frame drops at all.

And every EU server avaliable for twitch is dropping frames with the same settings or even lower.
A contact to my ISP was not really helpful, the bandwith is not limited in any way, my ping is low as usual (10ms for 100km, 25-30 for 500km), the server ping plugin for OBS shows ping from 22 (Frankfurt) up to 60 (Stockholm), jitter is ~1,5 for any EU twitch server.

So what is the problem? And how can i solve this (specially without running amok at my ISP`s office) over the weekend with no tech support from ISP avaliable...
I have this problem for like a week now, but sometimes it works, without changes and with the same connection (using coax cable 32mbit/s down & 4mbit/s up so its always up and running).

Already done this. My connection is stable, my ISP confirmed this.
I drop frames only when i stream directly to twitch, anything else (cybergame, gaminglive etc) is working great.
At the same time twitchstatus.com was reporting massive lags and 300 up to 1000+ ping for any twich server.

And the Problem is still there. Had my tech support guy here, the connection is 100% stable, i can stream to every service out there without frame drops, but not to twitch.tv. I got frame drops every time i try to stream with 3250kbps + 128kbps audio. How can i fix this damn shit?

I guess your ISP just has a bad route to Twitch and you should use a different service.

Ehhh in Germany its not so easy to change your ISP, most of them have a 2 years contract so when you get it, you have to live with it or pay extra to get rid of it.The second problem: this is the only coax ISP that is avaliable here, i dont have VDSL or something else. Short: changing my ISP is not an option, it is simply the only one who has enough upload for streaming. AND it was working great for 1,5 years.

Twitch is my main plattform, routing the stream over a different service is possible, but adds even more delay and its simply not the same. My other solution would be NGINX running on my virtual server, this will avoid the routing problem - gonna try this.
