As the title suggests I need to rule everything out before I try to take my ISP to court again. Any and all help and suggestions are appreciated. I will literally try everything anyone says to try, to rule out 100% my equipment and to stuff it down the throats of my terrible ISP. I will provide SOME of the many logs I have.
For context, I have been streaming for LITERALLY years with the exact same setting with exactly 0 issues. This included various updates to OBS and the like. Only in the past couple of weeks I have been dropping an unusual amount of frames and the disconnecting entirely from streaming. Only to reconnect and restart that whole garbage situation.
Things to note:
I have tried to stream using only Wifi to see if somehow it was a cable ethernet thing.
I have streamed successfully using hot spot via my phone, but it was terrible still just because hot spot is unreliable.
I have had the same issues streaming specifically and only from my PS5 and twitch inspector said it was still garbage.
I have tried to lower the bit rate significantly lower, and lower quality to possibly account for low upload speed.
I have reboot, reset and renamed everything on my router to account for some weird mishap or clashing situation with devices.
I have changed GPU Acceleration on/off, Game Mode on/off, stream stability on/off and I am sure other things as well that are suggested when looking through the log.
I have streamed when no other devices are connected.
I have reset all my firewall exceptions and restarted all of those setting.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ethernet drivers and various ports.
I have used different electrical receptacle plugs and surge protectors.
I have used Streamlabs and XSplit to test as well.
I have tried various different setting in OBS proper, just ticking on and off almost every other box or drop down menu.
I have used a desktop app StarTrinity CST to monitor live internet usage and one main thing is jitter seems to bee too high consistently but when I am streaming, packet loss is abundant.
Things I couldn't figure out:
For some reason, it seems during the earlier hours if I stream, it is very stable. I was able to stream for 2 hours testing and 0 dropped frames and my game felt perfect. Then when 5pm hits or so, it works for a while and then falls apart. And when it falls apart it never recovers. Rarely do I just start a stream and it is crap immediately. This also causes much frustration when speaking to my ISP because they usually can't see anything bad happening like always.
Another thing I don't know how it effects things(although I was streaming for years and it didn't do anything) Was the mismatch of sample rates. I guess my headphones are 44htz and everything else is 48htz but I think that is just a timings thing, I don't think it should effect internet quality.
I don't know how windows 10 22h2 effects anything if at all
I don't think I should put Windows Game Mode on because I am streaming through my PS5 via capture device from my PC
I don't think third party plugins, or at least what I am using could cause something like this significant.
Sincere thanks for anyone who can try to help or send me in the right direction. Even if it is to tell the ISP to get a zone leader and correct a specific issue of their equipment, I will do that. At least that gives me an answer and a direction.
