The median is the typical speed, and the tenth percentile is the speed at a busy moment, such as queueing at passport control with everyone else on the same cell.
Read the tenth percentile, not the headline
The median is the typical speed. It is a fair summary and a poor predictor of the moment you actually care about.
That moment is arriving at a busy airport, being on a crowded train, or standing in a stadium concourse. The tenth percentile is the speed at moments like that.
If it sits above 5 Mbps, video calls hold. If it sits above 2 Mbps, maps and messaging are comfortable and streaming is not. If it drops below 1 Mbps, expect the phone to feel broken even though the status bar looks full.
The practical rule is that anything above about 25 Mbps median is indistinguishable from anything else above 25 Mbps median for phone use. A 158.7 Mbps country and an 80 Mbps country feel identical in the hand.
Where they differ is in how far the tenth percentile has fallen away from the median. That gap is the number to compare.

Questions people ask
Why publish the tenth percentile as well as the median?
Because the median describes a good moment and the tenth percentile describes a bad one. A country with a 74 Mbps median and a 6 Mbps tenth percentile behaves very differently from one with a 40 Mbps median and a 22 Mbps tenth percentile. The second is the better place to work from.
Does the fastest country mean the best experience?
No. Above roughly 25 Mbps almost nothing you do on a phone gets better. Maps, messaging, video calls and high definition streaming all fit inside that. What changes the experience above that line is latency and consistency, which is why the tenth percentile column deserves more attention than the median column.
Which carriers do I actually connect to?
The carriers column lists the networks travellers land on, in priority order. You do not choose between them by hand. The profile selects, and it reselects if the first network degrades, which is the point of running more than one agreement per country.
