Unable to Live Stream on Twitch
I have 1gigabit FTTP and have been trying to live stream on Twitch but I'm encountering an issue.
The stream connects to Twitch for exactly 10 seconds with good bitrate, then immediatley cuts out to 0kbps. It periodically regains connection only to immedaitely cut out again.
I'm using ethernet and have tried putting my Hub5 into Modem Mode, disabling the firewall and using CloudFlare DNS but none of these fixed the problem.
My only thought is that Virgin are detecting that I'm streaming and cutting off the connection? Do Virgin do this? I can't find anything saying they don't support streaming on the website and the speeds are more than good enough.
I had an engineer round who fitted an attenuator to the line which seems to have fixed the problem. Apparently the upstream signal was too low frequency and the high bandwidth usage of streaming was causing the connection to become unstable.
Since the engineer visit, I've not had anymore problems with dropouts.
