Question / Help Upload speed problems

[wachagunnadu]

Hello. My problem is that i have good upload speed to Frankfurt and Amsterdam (20-25 mbit). But when I start to stream, the maximum bitrate i can set is 1000. If i set bitrate more then 1k (1500 or 2000) its start lagin and buffering video to my viewers. But when i set 1k bitrate its ok and no buffer problems and stream-loading. I dowload a program to check how much OBS upload speed and found out that OBS use only 140-150 KB/sec. How could i improve this and let OBS use more upload speed, because i want to set higher bitrate.
THank you :)

If your viewers are getting lag, and you are *not* dropping frames in OBS, then there isn't much you can do. It's a problem with the connection between the Twitch video delivery servers and your viewers. There's very little you can do to alleviate lag in such cases other than lowering bitrate until it stops.

Not only viewers geting this lags, but me too. And as I said, maybe there is any way to make OBS use more upload speed ? Cause its seems strange: when i set max bitrate 1000 - 0 lags, everything is awesome (but quality are so ugly), when i set 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400 and etc. its start to buffering and lagin.
Maybe there is some upload speed restriction seted on OBS that i can remove ? Or something like that... Or no way to improve that ?

Are you dropping frames? If you are not dropping frames then the only way to solve viewing lag is to lower bitrate, or hope you can refresh and pull from a more stable connection. If you are watching your own stream, that counts as you being a "viewer". There are no weird bitrate limitations or whatever on OBS.

Yeah i get it, but it seems to me strange that OBS use only 120-150 kbs when it could use more upload speed...

...it has nothing to do with what OBS can or can't use, it has everything to do with what Twitch can handle. Also, don't confuse KB/s with Kb/s. OBS does everything in Kb/s, most everywhere else that isn't dealing with video bitrates will use KB/s and MB/s.

i just instal program that show which proccess use my internet, and i found out that OBS using only that low amount of upload speed, and it seems strange to me. So no way to me to improve this problem ? :(

1000kbit in obs = roughly 125 kbyte/sec in most programs. so if you set obs to 1000kbit and add audio to that plus a bit off variance you get your "120-150 kbs". As krazy mentioned, you have to test what you can deliver to the specified twitch server. If you drop frames on 2000kbit, then your connection to this twitch server cannot sustain 2000kbit constantly. Try another server or lower the bitrate.
