Keep in mind that any performance test is drastically effected by the quality of the routing between you and the test site. We used to use these tests after satellite installations but found that they were horribly inaccurate. We would test and get say 80K/second, then 2 minutes later run another test and get 140K/second.

Yah, it may not be the best thing, but it still offers a good idea of what you're running at.
Averageing them will give you a more realistic idea...... Glad you tried it......
