One time you may get connected to your neighbor via Brazil, the next time via Moscow.
It uses whatever is available to get there

I was thinking same browser same ISP, same test page. But I take it you're saying that out on the web there will be a variation in routing depending on ISP traffic, time of day, phase of the moon ets.
How about if you picked a test page URL close to home like the city web site or one for the local newspaper ? That would cut some distance and hopefully take out at least some of the routing variance. Also repeated trials say 3 or 5 ( whatever one has patience for ) could give an average.
Ideally the machines would be side by side and testing take place back to back or intermingled. ( sequentially ).
Here is also a test page URL http://www.mactechnicalservices.com/test.htm
But then this would also be subject to routing variations.
