What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Blount came in below 53.3 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 14.3 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 125.9 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 53.3 Mbps down and 9.2 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 41.6 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
