Question / Help Yet another Internet help thread

Hi there! I hope this is in the correct place; I'm new in town.

Anyway, I did a 6 MB speedtest on testmy.net and I recieved these results:

OBS however, in the bottom right corner, fluctuates between 1,000 kb/s - 1200 kb/s.

I'm not sure why it is such a drastic dropoff? OBS only reports using like 40% of my speed. I use wireless internet but if high size speedtests display a higher speed, why is this so low from OBS? I am currently streaming at 1000 bitrate and it looks OK but I am wondering how I can improve this to get a higher bitrate and thus higher quality.

If necessary, a recent log file: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b3c836b4f70966c8d0d2

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The log file shows as using a video bitrate of 1050, plus audio bitrate 128. OBS shows the overall bitrate being used.

You may raise your video bitrate to maybe 2000 Kbps in your OBS settings to improve video quality.
