It also depends on the geographic distance. I am located in the Netherlands and have optic fiber 100Mbit up/down.

Code:
$ time echo ls | ftp -a ftp://ftp.bit.nl/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64/ >packages.nl
    0m1.73s real     0m0.03s user     0m1.53s system

$  time echo ls | ftp -a ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64/  >packages.se
    0m8.18s real     0m0.04s user     0m1.52s system

$  time echo ls | ftp -a ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64/ >packages.ca
    0m4.47s real     0m0.01s user     0m1.29s system
Here it is rather strange that the download from Canada is faster than the one from Sweden
