It does seem consistent, which to me is the most important thing.

Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.

Don't worry, Bob, a number of us are at the low end of the spectrum. :)

Which is all we can ask for in a speed test. None of them can be trusted to give an absolutely accurate answer, but they can be used to check trends, eg a problem will show up more readily if the tester is consistent.

From the FAQ, Bob:

What is the connection test and how do you measure it?

Our connection test is measuring how many connection your local computer can establish to the internet per minute. This results are determined by requesting a very small file from our worldwide server-cluster and analyzing the number of successful connections.

This test is especially interesting, because typical websites (e.g. blogs or news pages) nowadays consist out of very many small elements (like pictures or CSS styles). In order to show those websites fast on the screen, it is not only the download speed which is important, but also the response times as well as stability of the internet connection. All these factors are taken into account with this test type.
