What these numbers mean here

The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Barnwell came in below 89.1 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 46.2 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 201.8 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 89.1 Mbps down and 14.2 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 33.3 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
