No, you'd be just barely at the limit with 5Mbps up, and you're only getting 0.62.

I'd argue that 0.62Mbps is not enough to stream at all, 720p60fps much less.

[Mira Yurizaki]

Well, theoretically you could. It'd just look like garbage at the bitrate.

If streaming relied on Download Speed, you'd be fine, but unfortunately, it involve you uploading the video stream to a server... hence the need for a fast Upload speed. Like the others have said, at 0.62Mbps, you ain't gonna be streaming anything.

Unfortunately no, you wouldn't cut it. Twitch states 3500Kbp/s is the minimum recommended for 720p60, and 2500Kbp/s for 720p30.

Online games must suck with that upload. You need atleast 2mb up to stream anything worth of watching. 5mb up is minimum for 720p and still could end up looking bad and not worth it.

720p would not be a great viewing experience with that speed.

 

I have streamed with .5 Mbps but at 360p and 2 pass encoding with NVENC.

Surprisingly they don't. I never experience lag in online games tbh (maybe once a month or so for few seconds). I don't know why but I don't care

Also one last question, will getting a new router like and a better internet  help?

Router is just a box that divides your connection for multiple devices and wireless. It wont improve in/outbound speeds a bit. You need to upgrade whole connection package, or at least upgrade portition.

I sadly cannot do that because I'm connected to the internet via ADSL

Still thank you for answering my questions

You mean your operator doesn't have plans which would provide higher upload? With some reading, you could get 2mbs upload which is just enough to do some test streaming at least.

[Paul Vreeland]

It is common for ADSL and ADSL2/+ lines to have less than 1 Mbit upload speed.  The old copper phone lines have a small range of frequencies/tones they use to carry data, for simplicity, say 1-100 for total bandwidth.

 

Since 99% of folks are consuming data only instead of producing, they allocate the system to use say tones 1-96 for downloading and 97-100 for uploading.  This is just a limitation of ADSL/2/+

 

VDSL has much higher potential speeds, but is available pretty much only in metropolis sized cities.

 

Changing providers is your only hope of streaming 720p.  With the current trend in ISPs (only 1-2 per city), you are pretty much stuck.  This is also why network neutrality is such a hot topic, but that is a separate conversation.

 

In other news, last week SpaceX launched 10 low orbit satellites to provide the world with low latency satellite internet.  The current problem with satellite internet is the providers are using satellite nodes 25,000 miles up in high orbit.

The problem is that I don't live in a city, I live on the countryside where ONLY chopper phone lines are avalible...
