I've tried it 5 times:
3.08Mbps
3.17Mbps
3.13Mbps
3.13Mbps
3.19Mbps
It's pretty consistent. Seems like you've got a pretty variable connection. And I guess it will be more variable with smaller connections.
Also note that your internet traffic will not always go through the same route to the same webpage. So sometimes it'll be randomly slower anyway.

Might be worth doing several tests, throwing away the fastest and slowest, then average the rest. Give you a better metric.
Wouldn't the downside though be that they would have to load the actual tester file? If I was on a 56k connection I wouldn't be too happy about that :-)
Well you'd ideally start with a small file then increase it to get more accurate results for faster bandwidths.
