Doing uploading knocks me off the internet...

JMJenkins · July 18, 2015

So this may or may not be a normal problem... I live in South Africa with a slow line but fast enough upload to do 360p/25fps which I've attempted to do multiple times, but every single time I attempt it, eventually frames start dropping and then team speak loses connection, web pages won't load, I lose connection to Steam and Skype and well, basicly I've been kicked off the internet for a short duration. As for my internet setup, I'm so far away from the original router than we have the router in my dads office, connecting a long LAN cable ALL the way to a another router in a cupboard near my room and which I have a LAN cable connected to my PC.

Would this at all be screwing me around?

A similar situation happened when I first tried to play COD:AW, as I attempted to "Connect to the servers" or to say login to the lobby screen so I can look for a game, the same thing happened where I'm completely kicked off the internet almost like a DDoS attack.

By the sounds of it you're overloading your internet. Those frame drops when streaming mean that you have exactly no spare bandwidth to be doing anything with your network. This means programs such as Teamspeak where streaming is required to stay running will crash, whilst websites will load incredibly slowly or not at all. As for it crashing in AW, are you streaming that or is that a general occurrence? If its all the time try calling your ISP to check for line errors.

TL:DR, internet isn't good enough to stream, I suggest you don't. Also your phone line (what I assume your internets on) may be damaged, try calling your ISP.

This was without streaming AW, this was just streaming in general. We are suppose to have 4mbit line but we don't get the full speeds and it's to do with the actual line I believe, we are waiting for FIBRE to become a monthly payment rather than a 2-year contract before we buy it because we don't know if we are staying at this house for the next 2 years anyway.
