So I feel like it's either on my end, or with the services themselves. It's not being throttled because if it were, my Ipad would notice it too, but it doesn't. It's like Twitch gets "opened up", know what I mean? Which makes me suspect it's a port issue.
#STEAM DOWNLOAD STOPPING AND STARTING PC#
The wierd thing about Twitch is that it stops stuttering on my PC when I play the same stream on my Ipad. If you want to try and contact them and complain be my guest, but you probably won't get anywhere.Ive tried everything else I'm using and I've yet to find a problem. They probably will not stop throttling you.

If it's your ISP then I would recommend dropping them and finding a different ISP. If you want to try and contact them and complain be my guest, but you probably won't get anywhere. If you don't and you can repeat this process with consistent results, then there is a good chance your ISP is throttling those services. If they do then try streaming on your mobile network. To test if it's your ISP you could probably try streaming twitch on your phone. Either it is just an issue with those services which is 100% out of your control, or it could be your ISP throttling those services. Once you feel you're confident enough that it really is only those two services then it's probably one of two things. Then verify that you're still having issues with twitch and steam. Try some youtube videos, Netfilx, whatever else and make sure they're all working fine. But there are some other things you can try.įirst thing I would do is really try and verify that it is ONLY those two services. I'd say it's probably an issue with the specific online services you're using since it only seems to happen with those specific services. Twitch stops buffering on my PC if I have the stream I'm watching also open on my ipad. So, what the hell is going on? Are there ports that need forwarding? Is there some conflict that I'm missing?Įdit: Ive noticed something even weirder. Since the Ipad doesnt buffer, I must assume the problem is in my PC.

I did a speed test, which showed a perfect load on my line, nothing broken or lost. Only Steam and Twitch are having issues, all other programs are working without issues. I can watch stream on my Ipad without buffering. What's going on here? I have no issues with ping in any games at all.

I monitored my Ethernet load when I was watching, having tried different streams and different browsers, that my Ethernet load was doing pretty much the same thing of going up then down to 0 which caused buffering. Ontop of this, I've noticed Twitch is starting to do the same thing. The speed goes up, some times to my maximum (25/30mb/s) then just drops to 0 and starts over, often jumping or staying around half my normal speeds before it drops and restarts again. I figured it was just the particular game I was downloading, but when I then started downloading other games the other day, I had the exact same problem with those. I tried to fix it by changing my location, restarting my router and PC and looking into other solutions that turned nothing up. I started observing this issue about a month ago. Hi! Here's a detailed description of what's going on, any assistance is greatly appriciated!
