What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Jefferson came in below 29.5 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 22.6 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 53.6 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 29.5 Mbps down and 29.3 Mbps up, a typical household here can manage standard streaming and browsing, but will feel the limits with multiple users or large uploads. Latency of 30.1 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
