Try this: Go into mumble from the launcher. Go to audio wizard. Go through the steps and when it comes time to pick your settings, choose low. When I ran wireshark during rubber banding and a crash I noticed something was attempting to send huge packets of data in the form of tls 1.2. TLS 1.2 is a certificate authentication program. I hunted down the process that was attempting to send that data and it was in fact mumble.
Make sure QoS is off too.
What are the bandwidth requirements?

From 0.9.1, this is highly variable, and mostly up to the user. With top quality, minimum latency and positional information sent, it is 144.0 kbit/s including the IP and UDP overhead. With 60 ms transmission delay, the lowest quality speech and no positional information, it is 15.8 kbit/s (again with IP and UDP overhead). The default quality setting uses 58.8 kbit/s. When comparing with other products, remember to compare the total bandwidth use and not just the bitrate of the audio encoding.

There are two parts to tuning the bandwidth; the audio bitrate per audio frame (e.g. 10ms) and the amount of frames to put in each packet. Each transmitted packet has an overhead of 28 bytes from IP and UDP alone, so at the highest transmission rate (100 packets per second), that is 2800 bytes of data for raw network overhead alone. You should try to find a balance that works well for you, but we generally recommend sacrificing high audio bitrate for lower latency; Mumble sounds quite good even on the lowest quality setting.

There is no way to adjust the amount of incoming bandwidth; you will have to have enough to sustain the total amount of speaking players. This should be a minor issue; most players these days are on asymmetric lines and hence it is only upload that is a bottleneck.

Is Mumble encrypted?

Your whole communication to and from the server is always encrypted. This encryption is mandatory and cannot be disabled. The so-called control channel, which transports your chat messages and other non-time critical information, is encrypted with TLS using 256 bit AES-SHA. The voice channel carrying speech and positional audio is encrypted with OCB-AES 128 bit. You and the server authenticate to each other using digital certificates like they are used for secured connections in Web-browsers.

-OK I HAVE A FIX TO STOP THE CONSTANT DISCONNECTS-
At least for me, hopefully other people too. Im on TWC and have an Arris modem/router and once I changed these settings no more disconnecting from server problems. Note that it might be one of these changes or all of them together but I have them all changed and PR is working completely fine now. Hopefully this works for other people that are not using an ARRIS Modem too, give it a shot and report back.

First you need to get into your Arris control options through your web browser. The address to open it is "192.168.0.1" without the quote's just type it into the address bar and hit enter. Sign in with your info, if you haven't changed it - it is set to default with the username "admin" and the password is "password" without quotes.

Under Basic Setup uncheck/turn off WPS Settings.
Under LAN Setup under DHCP Server Settings put your Lease Time to 3600000.
Under Lan Setup uncheck UPnP.

NOW HIT APPLY AT THE BOTTOM. Make sure not to forget to hit Apply. Don't change any other settings unless you know what you are doing. After that reset the router. you can do it under the Utilities Tab in the same control panel. Now logout and wait until the modem reboots and connect to the internet again, you should be all set. Go try out PR. Those 3 settings made my server disconnects stop completely, hopefully yours too. Good Luck
