Slow upload Streams

Hello all, so some specs before i start, 
Running Sophos UTM (fully updated) in Hyper-V on a 2012 R2 Dell T610
The system has 2GB RAM and 2 Cores 
The internet link is a 100/40 link that goes directly into a NIC dedicated to Sophos 
Everything is turned off apart from the firewall, and web server protection on a couple of domains, 

My issue that i have been banging my head on the desk for 3 days now is the Plex server i am hosting has Terrible uploads when streaming media, 
When i do a speed test with speedtest.net, DSLReports, i am getting a full 93mb/s down and 35mb/s up so plenty to stream.

However when i try the Googlespeedtest or the DSL Stream test Google Never goes over 8mb/s up and the streamtest i am unable to get a stable stream over 400kb/s no matter the server, 
When i start to stream it works fine for about 1-2 seconds then just dies (i can hold a 6mb/s stream on DSL Reports ( http://www.dslreports.com/tools/streamtest ) for a good 2 seconds then it gives up, on the UTM it is showing only 300kb/s actually passing 

RAM usage is only 26% and my cpu is not even going over 10%, i have changed the MTU to 1500 from 14XX and that has not helped either. 
It seems Streaming based upload i cant get over 200kb/s (which is what plex does) Im completly lost as speedtest.net and speedtests i can get over 30 but not streaming? 

Would someone be able to try http://www.dslreports.com/tools/streamtest aswell on a UTM network? the test is other then either 1.6 or 6 uplink stream. 
And would anyone know what is going on? i have IPS Off, protection all that jazz off, its only the firewall, 

oh QOS is off too,

  • So i reinstalled Sophos, 
    I only have the basic config, with the internet working,
    I tried the test and they where all green but no bandwidth was actually moving, (the little grapys where not actually going up,)
    So i allowed everything on the internal network using any service outside, The test started working again and there is now traffic moving out using the stream test, but again, 
    I can't hold a steady stream, seems to get shapped down, 
    Everything is off and this is a base config?
