Hello!

Problem:
During my Dota 2 broadcasts my stream will randomly drop 1-2 times each day. I have tried numerous methods to resolve this matter but can't find a solution. One second everything is running fine, the next second I hear a "ding" and the Auto-Reconnect box pops up with my OBS frozen briefly. I usually have to wait 1-2 minutes for it to unfreeze and then I resume streaming. With a 2 minute delay on the stream (added by twitch interface) this can be very frustrating.

I don't drop any frames, and I don't have internet issues with anything else. (Game/Skype do not lose any internet connection during stream drop)

I would really love some help on this issue. I have tried tons of goggle searching and side methods (updating windows, drivers, changing the server ingest, etc.) to fix this. I was using a TWC All-in-one modem/router combo which I heard could cause issue.. but even after putting it properly into bridge mode and buying a $180 wireless router I still have the problem.

Have you tried using a server that isn't new york yet?

Yes. I started with Ashburn, VA. Then the problem came.
I heard about the problems OBS posted on their twitter about Ashburn so I switched to NY,NY

I still have this problem with both servers.
 
So based on everything posted it's looking like an ingest server related problem?
I can understand one server giving issues..but 2 servers?
And wouldn't a lot more people have a similar problem if that was the case?

Just trying to get clarification.
 
Considering that both ashburn and london are outright down right now, it's probably bad routing to the servers you're having trouble with that aren't down.

It would take people:
1> On your ISP
2> In your neighborhood
3> Trying to stream with the same settings as you
4> At the same time
to have the same problem.
 
Happened again today. Right at the end of the Dota 2 game I was casting the stream drops. Just goes straight to "Reconnecting" and with a 2minute delay this is VERY frustrating to myself and the viewers.

I tried out my 3rd ingest server Miami ,FL

So after 3 different servers and still having the issue, it's either all East servers are bad.. or it's something different.
