What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Kodiak Island came in below 86.8 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 27.9 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 144.4 Mbps — a spread that usually reflects a mix of fibre, cable and older DSL lines in the same area rather than one uniform service level.

At 86.8 Mbps down and 7.2 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 49.8 ms is high enough that video calls and gaming may feel laggy.
