Question / Help My stream keeps buffering

I have ADSL 24/1. Everyone knows you can't stream shit with such low upload speed, but luckily for me I live 100 meters from the 3G mast so I bought a 3G stick and streamed through it. With the 3G stick I get 12/4 but the latency is about 60 ms so I can't use it for gaming. For gaming I need to use ADSL.

So I currently have ADSL and 3G in the same PC. I basically have two internet connections, the main connection is the ADSL. I will only use the 3G connection for streaming the video to Twitch's server, so I redirected the stream packages to be sent through the 3G connection instead of ADSL with ROUTE ADD.

route add 10.24.85.196 mask 255.255.255.255 10.24.201.81

So I started streaming and everything works like a charm. I have 10 ms latency in game and OBS is showing no dropped frames, but when I am watching my own stream I can see that it's starting to buffer every ~5 seconds. The thing is that if I disconnect the ADSL and only uses the 3G connection, the stream will work fine, no buffering whatsoever, but then I will have 150 ms latency in game.

Not really sure why you added this route? OBS has an option to select the preferred network connection under advanced settings, called Bind to interface.
But to your problem, if you are not dropping frames, the buffering comes from Twitch or your adsl connection being too slow. Either way, you could download the recorded video file from twitch afterwards and see if it has any missing frames. If it plays smooth, your stream was also smooth.
