@shawzy, I have a similar problem. Once in Europe, I can stream at 2000+ kbps but not here in Singapore, where I get similar speeds to yours.
I have already tested that on Starhub, which routes their traffic through US and Singtel, which has a direct connections with UK. Both were showing similar results. And that was strange especially that Singtel, based on tracroute results, has a direct connection with the UK network backbone where my Slingbox is located. So in terms of routing, it couldn't be better.
The solution on this is to use a proxy server. It is usually hard to find a good and free one, so you should better look around at UK proxy paid alternatives.
Before buying a slingcatcher, you should be aware that Slingmedia doesn't really provide a good support for this device. They haven't also implemented a proxy support for this device, meaning that if you have bad speed with direct connection, there is nothing you can do.
