How can I continue to watch Twitch Stream despite the low Internet speed?

So unfortunately I have a maximum of 5Mbit download and 0.80Mbit upload, and the problem is that the Twitch is lagging every 5 to 10 seconds. And that's stupid, with a stream you can't turn the quality down, you can only select 720p. Strangely white, this is not the case with YouTube Live Stream, because there's almost no lag there. Only on Twitch is lagging almost all the time.

Is there any trick or possibility that watching Twitch Live Stream works at least as well as on Youtube?

Because unfortunately it can take us several months until we can even get into wonderful fast internet.

Since I also have a low internet speed, the only thing I can do is watch Twitch on my phone and set the Audio only option. You can't see a picture, what's bad, but I can't think of anything else.

Unfortunately not. The provision of lower bandwidths / resolutions is not offered for channels that are not Twitch partners.

Yes!
Get better internet. Otherwise no.

I have an idea for this.

It could be related to Muticast aka IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). This network protocol is popular for live TV and live streaming. Depends on the provider of the live stream.

Multicast is a rather complicated process that simply knitted WLAN-LAN routers and LAN switches lead to a stop in performance. Especially when several LAN & WLAN devices are actively connected to the local network, the entire LAN + WLAN network is flooded with broadcast packets.

If you understand the following discussion, you may understand the multicast problem in a local network when streaming live:

https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/wozu-multicast-igmpv3-switch.1503152/

The following test could show it:

Switch off all WLAN clients in your entire network offline (all smartphones, tablets, WLAN repeaters = off), also disconnect all LAN devices (LAN1… LAN4…). Only your PC should be connected to the router via LAN or WLAN.

IMPORTANT! Check the router's configuration page to make sure that "you" are really the only connected device in your local network.

Now try a live stream with Twitch, if it now streamed smoothly, you have the multicast problem described.

The solution is then: Only operate routers, WLAN access points and switches in your network that are certified / suitable for live TV. So router + switches must support IGMPv3.

If, on the other hand, it still does not stream smoothly (with the test above), you actually have too little bandwidth on the DSL connection.

PS:

IGMP is also explained something here: https://www.giga.de/...-so-gehts/
