Take a look at <http://www.brandonchecketts.com/open-source-speedtest>

I modified mine to save speedtests that my clients run so I can review them
at a later date. This helps me spot trends. I let my customers see the last
5 or so speedtests.

Some advice:
1. Make sure you save ALL of the speedtests your clients run. Then you can
look at the history of speedtests when the customer emails you to whine
about "slow speeds".... and sends you a screenshot of the speedtest... the
one they cherry picked to show slow speeds... This generally happens around
billing time.
2. Make sure that it is only available on your network. I had to put mine
behind a php ACL to prevent dialup users from telling me that my wireless
was no faster than their dialup according to my speedtest.... that they ran
from their dialup connection!! *head-desk*.
3. (this makes #2 even more important.. I cannot tell you how many customers
would call complaining about 'slow speeds'... and after investigating I
found they were using an AOL proxy or a proxy running some filtering
software... or performing the speedtest through their corp VPN connection!
