You are only going to transmit within the confines of your slowest network segment and any processor/WLM or I/O delays. Over the years there I have experienced a number of weird things that can dramatically affect ftp. I am sure that others can chime in. Tracking this down is going to take some effort.
I would suggest a traceroute and ping test for starters. Then to a packet trace for portion of the ftp. I am sure your network folks have some tools to help out.
