I'm just going to throw out a few ideas here:

I could be mistaken, but I remember reading something about time-sharing internet where download/upload speeds would be throttled at certain times during the day.

Also, it may be that your ISP filters outgoing port 21 traffic to discourage people from running servers. The DSL Reports test transfers the test data via HTTP, not FTP, so it's probably using port 80 or 8080. Try uploading to an FTP that's running on a port other than 21.

Those are just a few ideas, take them with a grain of salt.
