What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Caroline came in below 91.3 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 33.6 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 134.0 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 91.3 Mbps down and 23.4 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 10.0 ms is excellent for gaming and real-time calls.
