I do wonder if this is a thorough way to test ping. Most of the time I'm wondering if the connection here is stable, I hop onto a local quake3 or quakelive server and check the lagometer. Since those packets are being sent anywhere between 40 and 125 times in a second, you can really see any little stutter out there. It would be cool if CA3LE developed a method to test ping stability at low bandwidth and at high bandwidth usage (aka during a speed test), but with similar granularity. Since TCP is so sensitive to ping, this would explain most of the drops and thus lower speed results if worked out properly,
