Well, I am currently on a 512kbps connection, so theoretically, any stream will be able to run fine since the maximum bit rate able to be streamed on the site is 500kbps. However, whenever I try to watch streams from the site, my bandwidth isn't being fully utilized, thus I'm getting laggy streams.

Looking at my bandwidth monitor, it's fluctuating between 10KB/s and 30KB/s, but never the theoretical max of 50-55ish KB/s which should be what I want/need.

Any ideas as to why this is happening or how I can fix this?

Do a speedtest and post your results

it's nothing to do with my speed, it's something to do with not utilizing the maximum potential of my internet
for reference when downloading from sites or doing anything else i always hit 55KB/s.

a) he just said he can get 50-55kb/s with other things, so that's not the problem.
b) i doubt GTR is stupid enough to ask for help on this if he's got utorrent or something going on in the background lol.

could it have something to do with allocating your web browser more bandwidth? if other things utilizing the internet don't have a restriction like that it would explain having your regular speed with a direct download or torrent or whatever. maybe firefox(if you're using it) has a restriction set for the amount of bandwidth it's able to use? if that's the case I'm not 100% sure where you would change that though

Stop trying to hide the fact that you live in Australia. The land of Oz has not heard of technology.

To be slightly more helpful, 55KB/s shouldn't be fast enough for any half-decent stream.

One thing is that 500 Kbps Streams = 62.5 kilobytes / second

The main culprit is probably because your isp has bad routing to livestream's servers. That's not surprising considering you live in Australia.

i have this same problem GTR. my utorrent can go at 800kbps but i lag on every single livestream i try opening. isp = mytelecom. if you have the same isp, we can just blame them together.
