not sure if this is a OBS thing or an internet thing, my upload speed looks fine on the speedtest, but when streaming im dropping a ton of frames, think i dropped 15k frames in about 3 hours. log attached.

Test your mobile's download speed.

Tether your laptop to your phone if it has 4g / LTE signal. If its a nice 5mb or 8mb or more upload, try it at around 3000 kb/s and if that works steady, you know its your internet or the way your computer is connecting to the net (i.e. wifi instead of ethernet).

What are your actual Speedtest results? Suggest you do a series of tests.

See message from log files
20:58:52.417: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 17452 (5.1%)

You need need 1.5-2 times upload speed to ensure you have adequate headroom. So If you are streaming 6000K or 6Mbps your upload speed should be averaging 9-12 Mbps, or else you are very likely to have challenges

@Nass86
The connection is over the ethernet. See entry from log file.
17:48:52.425: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Interface: Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection (ethernet, 1000 mbps)
