It's Comcast Digital, it's delivered via cable with the TV service ... it's pretty much the standard package they offer in this area. It works really well and I can't remember the last time I had any outage.

I'm getting better speeds now.
This is normal for a 3G Signal out in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, that's what comes from having T1s at work. Too bad I can't do all my playing here. They wouldn't like that

How indicative is this thing, anyway? I tried it a few times mere seconds apart, and got vastly different readings each time.
It seems it's a bit like blood pressure, up and down like a ruddy yo-yo.

Some broadband services use resources that are shared by you and other people in your neighbourhood, so that might cause the variance your seeing. Bandwidth is a key metric so is your Contention Ratio.
