It's not the ISP, it's the latency. There's a firmware update due out that'll fix the problem completely. Prior to the update I was getting 200Kbps in Hong Kong with 1500Kbps upstream from my ISP. NOW I get 900-1400 easily, no matter where I am. Contact the support folks at Slingbox, they'll Email you the new firmware. You'll need to be local to the 'box to install it or update it via VNC or another remote control software to a PC on the LAN where the Slingbox resides.
