My bit rate is still low despite upgrading

I made a post about a month ago how my bit rate is really low while streaming. Before, I had fiber 1 gig internet with frontier, I upgraded to fiber 2 the other day assuming it would be enough. It is apparently not enough? My viewers say when I'm playing the stream starts to pixelize and looks shitty. I cant stream above 720p, but even then sometimes the message "low stream quality, streaming only mic audio" which kills the fucking stream. I dont lag in games all my other devices and stuff are all good but my streams look like shit still. Is it a ps5 issue? I have 40 mbps upload is that still not enough? I have a lan cable connected from the ps5 to the router, i can get a new lan cable since the one I have is a couple years old. Do I need to upgrade again or just get a new isp? Its been pretty frustrating since when I first started streaming this wasn't happening and I used to stream at 1080p with no issue and now I have to stream at the lowest settings. Its especially frustrating since the stream is growing now. I have more info I can provide. Also talking to the isp is awful, they dont know anything about streaming its annoying lol. It feels like upgrading somehow made things worse 😕
