This has just been the most frustrating day. So sorry to everyone who tuned in to the stream this afternoon. ISP issues continue to plague me, and I'll never be a premier content creator while that's the case. Will turn my attitude around for next week and hit things hard again.

Have you considered a business line? They cost more for the same speed but you get a carrier grade signal and the SLA is generally 99.95% speed you pay for. Consumer SLAs are usually "best effort".

Once I'm making enough money on Twitch to pay my rent and stuff, that's something I could consider. I'll call my ISP to ask about options. Thank you.

Streaming is more about reliability so idk if you’re paying for a 100 up or whatever but a consistent 10-15 up line is better than a 1000up inconsistent line for streaming.

Is a 30/10 package inherently more stable than a 100/35? Those are the only two non-commercial options available from my monopolistic provider.

Bandwidth does not inherently translate to stability. You could have a rock solid 30/10 or a super crappy 100/35 or vice versa. What matters is the underlying technology (xDSL, fiber etc.). As I suggested: Get both and a device that tests each and uses the best one. Or both. :)
