I wrote one several years ago when I had speed choice (now sprint
'broadband' direct) for the very same reason.
It did a series of tests including downloading different size files and
pinging machines via cron.
The results including packet loss and other ping statistics were stored
in a mysql database.
The backend was a few perl scripts and the front end was in PHP.
The PHP front end used GD to create graphs on the fly.
It was very effective in showing how their network sucked and why :)
I was getting packetloss as high as 40% and micro outtages constantly
I don't think I have it around anymore but I could help you with the design.
