Cisco SLA monitors can do many many more things than just determine  
response times and jitter by way of ICMP echo. They can be used to  
perform DNS/HTTP/FTP queries etc, and some other generic operations.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4/ip_sla/configuration/guide/hsla_c.html 
  has a list of supported operations, and their associated  
configuration guides.

You might not be able to download a large file and record stats about  
the speed it came down at etc, but something like that could be  
knocked up with some scripts quite easily.
