I know they were supposed to be (arguably) the best episodes that we will have done so far, covering Fangmeis Birthday, and of course the duck racing. Unfortunately, my ISP here had other plans, and despite thinking i was on the best (and most expensive!) package, it turns out not necessarily so. I currently get 70mb download speeds, and 5mb upload speeds. Thats more than adequate for me, however the problem has arisen when we moved the start times, and 9pm is still within the "peak time" threshold. Its because of this, that the screen started juttering after the 1 hour mark, with OBS dropping frames like crazy, and the reason for this is because my ISP only allow up to a 2gig upload threshold per hour. They do have valid reasons for this, in particular to prevent P2P sharing and other illegal activity, but the issue is what about the rapidly rising amount of uploaders to the likes of Twitch and Youtube etc. who are doing perfectly legal activities.
So my ISP also have a 200 "gamer" package where they have promised me no traffic management restrictions or thresholds. Its a little bit more extra a month (of course it is) so ive went ahead and ordered it. The alternative was to move the times back to what they were which first of all, doesnt really suit myself with working a full time job, as well as the numbers and response to the new times have been very positive. Anyways, that hopefully will take care of any issues we have had, and the times will stay the same for this weeks stream and we will see how we get on.
