Downstream and upstream traffic are not always symmetrical. While you may get 1 Mbps down, upstream traffic may be much slower.

By live stream, I assume you are planning to send video to YouTube. If that is the case, you would need at a minimum, an upstream that is at least as high as the bit rate you plan to stream at, but I would expect there to be overhead and inconsistencies, so needing a bit more upstream than the desired bit rate is probably going to end up being the real-world case.

thanks for reply but i didnt get ya
completely , leave it please answer it that ive srun Speedtest on my 1MB internet currently and got about the same download nad upload speeds 1.05mbps and 0.98 mbps but when i download something IDM says about 130-160kbps , so by this speed i,ll get about 3MBps on Speedtest and 360-420kbps on IDM so will i be able to live stream at 240p or 360p ??? thanks again....

Edit:

Now ive gotcha , yeah the upload speed is pretty much slower than the download , i wanna do Sub4Subs only at 240p or 360p so i,ll set video n audio bitrates to the minimum as possible so i can just stream smoothly....
