That looks allright imo. That first reading is low, but the other three are fine.

I am on 1 mb myself and get the following:

1st 512K took 4532 ms = 113 KB/sec, approx 904 Kbps, 0.88 Mbps
2nd 512K took 4563 ms = 112.2 KB/sec, approx 898 Kbps, 0.88 Mbps
3rd 512K took 4547 ms = 112.6 KB/sec, approx 901 Kbps, 0.88 Mbps
4th 512K took 4579 ms = 111.8 KB/sec, approx 894 Kbps, 0.87 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 899 Kbps, 0.88 Mbps
