Could be throttling. Have you tried watching through a VPN?



Yeah VPN works perfectly but I'm not a big fan of it I have to use it all the time just to watch Twitch


Can you drop the 60FPS to 30FPS ? That would cut the bandwidth requirement in half.


Oh I'm talking about watching not streaming

non affilite/non partnered streamers don't have quality selection and if they stream 720p 60fps I have to watch that.

I honestly don't even know what's the problem because I can even stream on Twitch easily pretty much up to 10000kbps. But once I start watching almost any stream heavy buffering starts.



Big streamers are streaming at closer to 8k. You can see it in twitch stats window live.

I'm pretty sure they will bend the rules if you all nicely and generate enough revenue, or you have friends that work at twitch.
