Best Internet Speed for Streaming on Twitch and YouTube

Upload Speed is Key

When you watch Netflix, you use download speed. When you stream to Twitch, you use upload speed. Most home internet plans have much slower upload speeds.

Recommended Upload Speeds

720p 30fps: 3-4 Mbps
720p 60fps: 4.5-6 Mbps
1080p 30fps: 4.5-6 Mbps
1080p 60fps: 6-9 Mbps (The "Gold Standard")
4K 60fps: 20+ Mbps (YouTube only, Twitch caps bitrate)

Bitrate Explained

Bitrate is the amount of data you send per second. Higher bitrate = better picture quality but requires more stable internet. For Twitch 1080p60, a bitrate of 6000 kbps is recommended.
