What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Berkeley came in below 101.7 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 32.6 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 220.5 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 101.7 Mbps down and 17.2 Mbps up, a typical household here can comfortably run several 4K streams alongside video calls. Latency of 36.2 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
