Re: Need Help My kbs :(

That's your current actual-rate. You can edit your target bitrate in the settings.
Also, you'll want to run a 6MB test at http://testmy.net/upload to get a real idea of the constant throughput you have available; speedtest.net is worthless when it comes to livestreaming, as it only tests dead-file transfers.

VBR (variable bit rate) will only use as much bandwidth as it needs at a given moment, but CAN spike above the target value you've set. CBR (constant bit rate) will use around the full amount you've provided, constantly.

Post a logfile from a live streaming session. They're located in %appdata%\OBS\logs and are timestamped. Open it with Notepad and paste the COMPLETE contents here inside of 'code' tags.
