>At the moment we are looking for a good badwidth test within your network 
to test the line and to see if the customer gets what he has asked/paid 
for. 

Have you tried pathload/pathrate?
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fac/Constantinos.Dovrolis/bw.html

Pathchirp is another possibility
http://www.spin.rice.edu/Software/pathChirp/

Both of these websites have documents that you may find useful, or you can 
google on pathrate or pathchirp to find additional documents.
