I use fast.com instead.
This one tests a 10MB chunk at last and that's the only reliable indication for me.
100KB and 1MB down/up load tests show unrealistically low values, perhaps due to a high latency (ping).

That's related to TCP congestion control. TCP starts slow and ramps up speed as download progresses.
But you're right that latency also has an impact on smaller downloads, and that's why latency is a critical measurement of connection quality for everyone, not just gamers.
