I tend to think you are comparing apples & oranges. Given that your test involves different sites at different distances (verify with traceroute(8)...), the numbers mentioned above aren't necessarily measuring the same thing.

Likewise, no mention has been made as to whether the filesizes or protocols are equivalent.
