First you have to be quite sure that your codec won't produce the stream of more than your channel's bandwidth. Check the settings and play the stream in another vlc to see the actual bandwidth (it'll be higher than codec's output because of the container and packetizing overhead. Lower the codec's bitrate, if necessary. Also look at the played output - the scenes may contain fast motion or entire scene panning that are the hardest cases for almost every codec. The H.264 is a complex codec and could eat your CPU out, this can be the cause of the troubles with the stream.
If you satisfied with the result, try to stream over your Inet connection. If you did everything right, there will be no problems. But do not forget the possible troubles from the oversubscribed provider's network.
