Hello I started streaming, I change my ISP coz that so my internet connection now is - http://www.speedtest.net/result/3855784023.png - its WIFI connection :/ But it is well stable..

Sometimes I can stream many hours without even one lag on 20 ping, but sometimes my ping just jumping into air :/ From 20 - 500ms :/ for example ( http://www.twitch.tv/blejzr91/profile/past_broadcasts ) Can u try to read my log or something? I just dont know where can be a problem.. Maybe it can be more connected laptops on my WIFI sometimes.. dunno :/

Thanks

Best regards

You have 5Mb upload which gives you ample room to "soften the blow" of spikes. In OBS in the window where you specify your bitrate split your available bandwidth into bitrate and buffer size. Judging from your ping jumping that high your spikes are crazy but a 3000/2000 split might help to smooth things out while you are suffering from low latency. If you fit your usual workload into the 3000 bitrate (i.e. by lowering resolution) the buffer should do the rest.

The bitrate tells OBS how much of your upload bandwidth it can use for itself (in kbit). On top of that comes the buffer size (in kbit also). I recommend using your full upload while streaming hence in your case the sum of bitrate and buffer should equal 5000:

bitrate + buffer size = 5000

3000/2000 for a very spikey connection like yours Id say.
