Generally VPS provider will have better international transit than your local ISP, however your local ISP will peer in Singapore so that part is usually congestion free.

Hmm, interesting suggestion for a temporary fix. I'll have a play around later.

But I'm loathe to add another point of failure in my transmission route, let alone one I need to maintain myself and troubleshoot myself (VPS).
