Streaming on a separate connection

So here is the deal, I am running 2 internet connections right now, because I am in Australia its incredibly hard to get gigabit and I need to get a business plan. But however the ping/latency on the gigabit connection is horrible at around 50/60 ms. But however on the other connection I am getting a solid 2-20 ping. But the upload speed on the low latency connection is not nearly good enough to stream. I have a spare PC but it is annoying to setup and I dont have the right equipment. I was thinking if I connected to one via Ethernet and the other via Wireless, so I could stream via Gigabit and play on the low latency. I did a bit of research but it included  expired links ect. Is this possible and if so, how???


Cheers Oliver

idk tbh

You just pop into OBS-settings and choose which connection you want it to use.

What're you streaming that requires gigabit?

OP didn't say that they need gigabit for streaming, they said the connection with lower ping doesn't have enough upload-bandwidth for streaming.

There's plenty of lower level plans, and majority of Australian home internet connections can actually support streaming. I was just curious what he's actually doing as usually you stream at only a couple mbit.

It doesnt require gigabit. I would just rather stream on the gigabit connection and not have it slow down my game. The upload speed on the better latency connection has only a couple of mbps up.
