So Iv'e been looking to streaming, mostly online tutorials - mostly photoshop and photography related.

Unfortunatly my home connection is kinda trash,getting around 40 down and 2-2.5 up when testing, and getting a faster such as fibre (and stable connection) doesnt seem likely in my area (Don't live out in the woods just shitty infrastructure)

 

Now i can mange with those kind of speeds for downloading, watching etc, not streaming. And before you ask, I'm using Streamlabs OBS and yes Iv'e got the horse power to stream ( Ryzen 3600 @ 4.2Ghz and a 2070 super to handle the encoding).

 

Even lowering the bitrate to 2000 is totally unstable, dropping frame like crazy, horrible upload speeds basicly unusble in any way.

Now im not talking crazy quality, 1080P for youtube, even 720P for facebook would work, but so far no matter what setting nothing seems to work.

 

My question is can i use a cellulr 4G modem (I mean like an acutal modem not a USB stick) to stream, is it stable enough?

From what iv'e seen there a hard data cap of around 50GB upload i think it might be enough (not to stream every day but enough for a few a month)

Depends what plan you get with it, and quality of the mobile network where you are. Cellular can be frey incinsistent, give great speed at times but if la lot of people are active in the area it can increase latency or slow down to a crawl.
