I' ve change my video settings to 1920x1080 and downscale to 1.50(1280x720), but my monitor resolution is 1680x1050, i dont know if that change something, but i think its might be also important. Also i know that bitrate set to 1500, but my friend says if i increase that number the stream keeps buffering pretty often, all tho hes download pretty bad (1mb/s). Any suggestions how should i increase the quality of the stream? Or the quality is decent and i just over think it?

If your friend is the limiting factor and increasing your bitrate isn't an option then downscale more. You can also try changing your preset from veryfast to faster or fast; if performance is still okay that will also help with image quality.

Bitrate is what affects the quality mostly, everything else can help (like a really slow preset compressing the videofeed really hard), but nothing can replace bitrate. Your friend should kick his ISP and if they dont fix it, change the ISP. 10mbit/s is enough to watch every stream on twitch, even if they are way higher than twitch allows it.

Why not? If they offer a nice routing to the server where the videofeed is coming from, they will tell the customer which server is overloaded right now, maybe a backbone is dead and they use a backup that is way too underpowered etc.
Our ISP actually tell the customer what is going on and help with testing, check the routes and if they cant fix it (outside of their network), they will call and email the provider who is in charge. And our ISP work with big players providing them enough bandwith and doing traffic shaping. Sure not every provider is helpful, some will just ignore you and tell you that its either not their problem or that there is no problem at all, but most of them actually care about customers.

The frontline support, what we call tier3 here, knows how to restart the modem or look into the manual for an error code on their modem (and only that). But we have contacts to tier2 support and sometimes even tier1 - the guys who have physical access to the core infrastructure and can test everything. And they do it because guys like us usually report upcoming problems before they hit hard. Working with us gives the tier1 tech support a chance to find problems faster and test it with customers, and this a huge bonus. Believe me, every network administrator is happy when his customers not only find problems but also provide useful information, so he has more time and less work in the end...
