IxChariot allows you to deploy an endpoint into AWS, which I guess the
customer could control. Probably the easiest but not necessarily the
cheapest.
Otherwise, I suppose you could hypothetically hack something together
which runs Speedtest.net and takes a screenshot, maybe using something
like http://www.seleniumhq.org/ but I think it would be low on the fun
scale and high on the doesn't work very well scale.
That's a bit of a double edged sword though, if the test fails because
the endpoint is not providing enough throughput/failing, how do you
troubleshoot it?

There are a lot of tools out there like this, they are used a ton by
carriers/mobile providers etc for testing site to site. Not
horribly-super expensive (few hundred bucks for the device), but you
have to provide the endpoint to test to.
I've used Ixia for this in the past, something like
http://www.ixiacom.com/products/ixchariot but it is probably slightly
more expensive.
