This upload speed difference could be a lot of things.

Your PC could be communicating with something on the internet, like updates to/from your PC.

It could be your neighbors. Although it is much less a problem than it used to be Internet Service Providers over sell networks. You share the bandwidth with many other people that live near you. The teenager down the street running torrents can cause a massive issue for others.

Usually it's not one simple thing that can be pointed out that can cause this speed difference you are seeing.

True, there's all sorts of variables, strange thing is that I do my tests at around 8.00 a.m. so theoretically that could count out people sucking up massive amounts of bandwidth, kids are getting ready for, or going to school and parents are getting ready for or going to work.. All our cabling is underground too, so theoretically the weather may have less of an impact, unless there's lightening about..
