Just wanted to thank everyone for helping me out.

I spoke with AT&T today, the guy I was talking to said that his tests showed that there is some issue with the line - on their end. A tech is coming Monday afternoon to fix it, so I should be good to go to stream again Monday evening!

And I confirmed that they do not throttle at all (at least that's what I was told) so I'll start streaming more frequently (in the evenings EST) as well as continuing my YouTube videos Monday or Tuesday for people that watch them

I believe that the make/model of the router/modem combo that they gave me when installing everything is 2Wire - 3801HGV FLX

There's also another thing on the device that says

Model: RG3801HGV-000

which I guess is a bit more specific than 3801HGV.

Also just to rule out this sort of thing - AVG has not been able to find any malware/viruses (I tend to keep my system extremely clean anyways - I avoid torrents/random downloads/porn - very rarely have anything like that and performance is perfectly fine outside of streaming anyways.)

Would there be any way, on my end, to run a program while I'm streaming to see if anything happens with the internet connection? Or would AT&T be the only ones with access to something like that?

Made a similar post to the AT&T community forums a minute ago but I figured I'd post this here to see if anyone with some expertise could help out.

Basically I have not been able to stream recently because about 20 minutes into streaming coh2, my internet decides to (effectively) die. It will disconnect my stream, I'll lose connection to Relic servers, and when running a speedtest (sometimes it won't go through at all) I've had speeds as low as 0.10 mbs down - even with the stream off. At this point my connection becomes extremely spotty, sometimes even unable to reach google or other major websites. This lasts until I go and manually reset my router - at which point the connection stabilizes unless I try to stream again.

I can post my hardware specs in here if necessary, but I do not believe that this is at all a hardware issue. My PC performance is more than fine when streaming (not fps lag, no stutters, etc). This started happening about a week ago, with no known changes in my internet plan. I'm supposed to get 16 down/2 up, and I've always been able to stream with a bitrate of 1300 kb/s until now. I downscale to 852 x 480 which I believe is fine for my upload? (At least it has been in the past).

Anyways, if you guys need any more information I'll happily provide it. My assumption is that AT&T decided to start throttling me or something? But I never had that issue in the past.

The weak point of OKW in my opinion is that they cannot easily attain a critical mass of AI units. They're swimming in AT options with Schrecks on Volks, Puma, Panther, Jagdpanzer4, Raketen.

Anyways, Volks don't really kill anything (although I love them as a schreck platform), Sturms don't scale into the mid/late game and OKW does not have a reliable AI tank (the puma is okay and imo the Lusch is too expensive for what it does - maybe this patch will help though). So you're left relying on Fallshirms and/or Obers, both of which are good, but it is hard to field more than one of either of those squads due to cost. Even building the flak HQ can be extremely difficult in a close 1v1, and it is so resource intensive when you basically NEED a Puma to not instantly lose to USF AA HT. (Personally I don't think teching the flak HQ is ever viable in a real 1v1, maybe on semos which is why I think Fallshirms > Obers) and I hate getting elite infantry without having the healing truck around the same time.

Even late game most of my USF matches are hard to close out because there are so many BAR Rifles running around and I only have a few units to compete with them.

Pretty sure the jp4 has better stats than the su85. Just sayin...
