If you're seeing 100, it's probably around 10/15. 10megs works fine for 1080p. Just check your speed.
I have cable internet with a 500 mbps download and 25 mbps upload, available all the time. Competitors provide better rates but I value dependable connections more. Quality doesn’t always require fiber; even strong ISPs can deliver solid speeds under 10 mbps. What matters is choosing a reliable provider. Now, regarding speed tests: results change because each test connects to a different random server in another region. The test site selects a nearby server but isn’t always perfect. For instance, if you're in the US, you might see your speed measured against servers in Seattle or Texas within hours. Greater distance usually means slower performance. Try http://www.speedtest.net/, run an initial test, then navigate to the interface and select various nearby locations (click settings → Change server). In the US, Twitch hosts servers in major data centers like Dallas, Chicago, and Washington—check their location map at https://stream.twitch.tv/ingests/ to see which is closest to you and test accordingly.
I suggest around 5-10 Mbps, which is typical for most cable connections. Unless you upgrade to 50 Mbps, most providers usually offer slower upload speeds.
