Identify the problem with your streaming.
Hello, I believe you have a solid setup and are using the right tools (OBS) to stream. However, your download and upload speeds drop significantly during gameplay, causing lag and disconnections. This suggests a potential ISP throttling issue with Bell Fibre. Despite having the correct hardware, the problem persists regardless of when you test it. You might want to consider switching to a commercial ISP for more reliable performance. Your current specs look good, but the consistent speed drops indicate an external factor affecting your connection.
I manage streams smoothly on a 60mbps/10mbps connection even when a teenager uses the internet simultaneously. Bell could improve with that plan. It might be that the service you're using has bandwidth restrictions. For instance, Twitch appears capped at 6mpbs for regular accounts, which is sufficient for streaming a game in 1080p. Also, verify your computer's frame rate output is adequate for the stream. If you're streaming at 60 fps but your system only provides 40-50 fps during gaming, your stream may lack quality and cause disconnection. Conversely, if your PC delivers more than necessary, reducing your frame rate can help conserve resources and boost stability. Lastly, while it's not ideal, you could contact Bell's tech support and explain your situation—let them know your high speed might be throttled during streaming and ask for a resolution. Good luck!
