ok so i stream at 950 bitrate and buffer size at 480p 30 fps with everything else that affects ping to the absolute minimum
i am at 2 Mbps upload, everytime i try to increase the bitrate a tiny bit for example from 900 to 1000 my ping just shits itself, i have no dropped frames whatsover but my ping just doubles everytime i stream. it makes 0 sense to me as ive seen people say they stream with 1500 bitrate on 2 Mbps and their ping is just fucking fine. i am completely and utterly lost and i require your help in order to provide you with incredibly amazing funny gaming moments please help me
tldr: my ping doubles everytime i stream even though i use 50% of my upload speed, no shit in background just tf2 and obs, can i do anything about this

It'd help get a better idea of what could be bottlenecking your connection if you document your hardware, namely your router, provider, are you wireless or plugged in, and your GFX Card + VRAM, and RAM. People might be on settings such as yours, as I once when OBS had very limited functionality was but my hardware at the time was overkill and could crunch everything real-time with no performance hiccups. My only bottleneck was the bandwidth itself.
tplink w9970b, wired, gtx 1080 8 gigs, 16 gigs ram, also might be my isp fucking me over cuz right after i stopped streaming both my upload and download went down drastically and my ping doubled even when not streaming, if thats the case then theres only god that can help me and he doesnt exist so im fucked
Well there is a difference between "2 Mbps because that's what you paid for, it could do 5" and "pay for 5, get 2" or "we're selling this as 2 Mbps because it gets 2 once in a blue moon".
I'm guessing you're in of the later categories.
What does a speedtest say?
Assuming it's not your CPU being garbage and choking on the encoding.

nono speedtests say 2 mbps at all times, it is very consistent, bad but consistent
Yes, but is this a "pay for 5, get 2"-situation? If the connection can't do more the latency will go up at high load.
we pay for 2 mbps upload but it could do more im p sure
Sucks to be you then. Or your ISP sucks. If your ping went up and down-/upload went down after streaming they might be throttling you.
Which speedtest site did you use by the way? ISPs tend to unthrottle the most common ones so if you use a more obscure one chances are you'll see what speed they're really giving you.
