40 mbit, kilobit and bit rate?

I need an expert, because i don't really get smart from the internet. The fact is that I currently have to decide on an internet contract and have a 100 mbit line in my eye with an upload of 40 mbit (on their side there are 40 and 50 mbit for the same contract, very strange, me just assume 40 mbit). Anyway, the project is easy, I want to stream on twitch in 1080p 60 fps or with a maximum bitrate of 6,000 (maximum bitrate without partner), regardless of that my question is now, what do I need for an upload so that I can stream with this bitrate? 40 mbit is 5 megabyte upload, 5 mb / s, right? That would mean even 40 mbit are not enough to stream at a bit rate of 6,000, SO I THINK, because I don't know what a 6,000 bit rate means, does that mean 6 mb / s upload or 6 mbit / s? Because if that is the case, I need a lot more than 50 mbit upload to make it work, can that be?

Re

6000 bit = 6 mbit -

40 mbit = approx. 6.5 x 6 mbit - that's more than enough…

Really? Is that so? Sounds logical. Accordingly, 10 mbit would be enough to get no problems, I would not have thought that now. A google calculator says 6000 bits is 0.006 megabits.

an

Mb: millibit

Mb: megabits

mB: millibytes

MB: megabytes

It helps to pay attention to upper and lower case.

The bit rate in this case is 6,000 kbit / s, i.e. 6 Mbit / s. With an upload of 40 Mbit / s, you could make six streams at the same time and still have enough upload left for normal use.

Gr

Huh? Then the maximum bit rate of 6,000 at twitch is just an upload of 0.75 megabytes? How should a 1080p 60 fps picture look good with a 0.75 megabyte upload? (I mean it looks good, but with less than 1 megabyte upload I can hardly imagine it?)

To

Just have to cut back on compression. Means, with fast movements there will be artifacts quickly.

Gr

So I recently saw a stream that streamed at 5,000 at 1080p 60 and that via the CPU, there were absolutely no artifacts to be seen and it was a shooter, more precisely apex legends, so I can hardly imagine that even under 1 mb / s Oo provides such a good picture

Re

True: 6000 bit = 6 Kbit and not 6 Mbit

To

If he streamed at 5,000, then he only had 0.625 MB / s.

Up

Upper and lower case letters have already been pointed out. A text is easier to read with correct spelling, for units it is even essential to pay attention to upper and lower case.

With Internet connections, the data rate for the download, i.e. From the Internet to you, is initially specified. A "100 mbit line" is therefore a connection with a download rate of 100 Mbit / s. The upload is also specified, in your case 40 (or 50) Mbit / s.

If you want to stream on Twitch, the upload is important. A "maximum bit rate of 6,000" means 6,000 kbit / s, ie approximately 6 Mbit / s. An upload of 40 Mbit / s is easily sufficient.
