how reliable is ping?

Hi,
in my company we installed a new DSL line, supposed to be faster than the 
previous one. And in fact it seems to be, in interactive use, but if I use 
ping to test connectivity against the old line I can see higher times. So my 
questions is: why does ping show high times and then the line goes faster? Is 
ping reliable enough to test network speed, or should I use another tool? (at 
last, a chrono and a file transfer!)

Thanks,
Luca
