Obviously virgin throttles upload speeds during peak as per their TMP http://my.virginmedia.com/traffic-ma...hresholds.html
However even on 150mb connection i only get 7mb upload speed, which would mean if i streamed for 2 hours, that would easily be knocked down to the 65% slower which would make it basically pointless to think about streaming with Virgin.
On the other hand i've seen a post or 2 that mentions twitch isn't effected by this and it shouldn't be in issue.
So question is, Is twitch exempt from getting hit during peak times or am i best moving to BT for their zero throttling? |
You've glanced over this. You should be getting 12Mbit upload, if you're only seeing 7Mbit then there's an issue somewhere.
As for STM, it will be 65% of your full speed, so you should still get about 4Mbit even under STM. I don't know what twitch requires to stream, but sort your connection out first.
