what operating system are you woring with if you dont mind me asking. I have registry tweaks that can seriously help with things like this. They are very basic and i will tell you whats in each one so if you want to build the tweak yourself or i have them already made.

Assuming the test is java-based, oddities like this are usually related to the brand & version of Java that you have installed.

Try a few other speed test sites to see if they give similar results. IF all are alike, then you might want to talk to your WISP to see if they have any issues.

This one SHOULD increase the speed of your connection within your connection boundaries. This will not uncap you or get you anything faster than the way that it should be.

This one will get you faster page loading on your connection.

Unzip install and then restart your computer. After doing this go to 2wire.com and then click speedtest in the upper right. Most reliable speed test that i know of

Maybe the program doing the test is wrong?

If I recall correctly, Download speeds should normall surpass upload speeds.....although that may not apply to wireless.
