Why so? (Are you sure you do not confuse kbps and KBps? Initially I did.)  
Here it quite accurately detects the upload speed (roughly the one that  
Skype always uses) and the download one (when I download a big file on a  
good server).

This doesn't give you the up speed. As for the down, your speed will  
necessarily depend on that of the server. If the server is limited to,  
say, 800kbps (100KBps), then your download speed will be limited to that.  
I assume that these tests use servers with generous bandwidth.
