If you trigger upload traffic management then your upstream will be de-prioritised which will then affect the quality of your traffic, as you'll be behind everybody else on the same cable. So not just the bandwidth of upload is affected.

Your FB live issue may or may not be related, it could be problems with the FB CDN.

You'll just have to try it.

Bear in mind that the number of upstreams you have locked on your modem, which in most cases is 2 x the modulation (16 or 64 QAM) will determine the bandwidth available for everybody on your node.

So:
2 x 16 QAM = 2 x 17Mb = 34 Mb total bandwidth on those upstream channels.
2 x 64 QAM = 2 x 27Mb = 54 Mb total bandwidth on those upstream channels.

So even though your package may not have traffic management on the upload, the bandwidth available during long streams may still vary a bit depending on how many people are using it.
