Full speed about 800mb/40mb, streaming suddenly drops frames and goes to 0kbps

Hello,

I stream Apex Legends typically, and I never used to have these issues. I had my ISP out to replace wiring, balance signals, and I have a very strong connection and have confirmed the problems time to be sporadic and not aligned with any increased area congestion on the network (I work for the company, have monitored the issues closely).

After ruling out the connection itself (aside from outages that are expected with hybrid fiber coax ISP's) I have not been able to stop this. I have ran as admin, I have adjusted settings such as dynamic bitrate control and the new enhanced broadcasting features. SOMETHING is causing my internet to tank after the stream runs perfectly fine otherwise. I am not familiar with how to decipher these logs, but please let me know if I can provide any additional information I'm at my witt's end.

Again, TLDR:
-I pay for 950 down 50 up but float around 850/40 usually (still superb)
-Hardwired ethernet connection
-Latest network adapter driver
-Power saving mode settings disabled
-Game Mode enabled (saw it helps with OBS in a different thread)
-Hardware Acceleration off in Windows (was giving me issues)
-Running OBS as admin
-Apex presents 'Prediction Error,' 'Packet Loss,' and sometimes input lag symbols when occurring.

I have clips of it happening if visual reference is needed. I just want to stream the game and play how I used to I can't think of anything that would have changed that is causing my connection to entirely interrupt while live. It's only when attempting to stream.

Actually you do have connection issues.
17:21:28.542: WriteN, RTMP send error 10060 (4097 bytes)
17:21:28.543: WriteN, RTMP send error 10038 (80 bytes)
17:21:28.543: WriteN, RTMP send error 10038 (42 bytes)
It could be on your home network or (most probably) the ISP.
The speed tests you can use on the internet don't measure RTMP protocol, the one used for streaming.
There are hundreds of threads with the same issue, solved the same way.

Please use this tool to more accurately measure your connection against Twitch servers:
TwitchTest | r1ch.net
Anything bellow 90 quality is bad and most probably an issue on your ISP.
If by any chance you used or are actively using a network booster/enhancer/whatever they called it, stop right there and undo any change made by this programs, and remove them. This programs gives more problems than solutions.
