Anyone with high upload speed tried to stream through internet?

Has anyone with really fast upload speed tried to stream through the internet?
I did a VPN with hamachi and succeeded to stream through the internet but the gameplay was really choppy (2fps), unplayable, and had distorted audio.

Would like to know if anyone tried this and had decent fps... :D

I`v got 50Mbps down/25Mbps up at home, where my host PC based. At office i`v got 10Mbps/10Mbps, connect esteblieshed thru VPN (PPTP). Games runs really smooth, with minor lags.

Were encode/decode enabled?

I tried this with two friends who are over 3km away, and they got messages on the screen "slow network" and "decode error" or something like that. The same thing happened when they streamed to me(I got the messages). The setup was almost the same as yours, 50/50 host with at least 10/10 at the client side.

I used Hamachi to setup the VPN, and the client used 720p with settings for fast(not beautiful). Encode/Decode were enabled.

I tried it on a friend's setup using hamachi. He has a 100/100 (host) and I have a 1gb/1gb (client) connection. It was a few of months ago, so it may have changed since then. Civ V had no noticable lag. Portal had a bit of choppiness, but was still very playable. (though you probably don't want to be streaming most FPSs on a LAN let alone over the Internet) The settings were maxed out if I remember correctly (1080p @ max bitrate). Of course, this was about the most ideal setup possible for VPN steaming: fiber ISPs on both ends, less than 20 Mi. apart and both were connected with CAT5. I don't remember what the overall latency was, but our ping times are usually 3-5ms. The real test will be the next time I go to my parent's house and try my own setup on their 10/1 DSL connection. I normally get 55-60ms ping between my place and theirs (~350 Miles). I don't really know anyone locally that doesn't have fiber, and I don't own a laptop (though I do have a handful of desktops), so I'm limited in the places I can test.

I once used TeamViewer's VPN to stream XCOM from my desktop computer. The desktop's network was 80/30, and the client was 30/5.

The streaming hitched every now and then (probably because I was using TeamViewer's VPN) but other than that it was flawless.

Lots of people talking about upload speed.... Bandwidth isn't that much of an issue but latency will be.

I still don't understand why I have such stuttering problems when streaming over internet. One problem that I could think of is that I do the streaming from a laptop, although I have a PC that uses an ethernet cable, the hamachi couldn't create LAN network on it, so I had to stick with the laptop.
