	Country/Region*	Average Average: The average of a network characteristics (DL, UL, and Latency) displayed is the sum of all individual network characteristics divided by the total number of speed test records in that country. The regional average is a weighted average—taking into account the network characteristics and the broadband penetration of countries within the region.	Median Median: The DL, UL, and Latency measured in a country, where half the numbers are lower and half the numbers are higher. The regional median is a weighted median—taking into account the network characteristics and the broadband penetration of countries within the region.	Average	Median	Average	Median

Cloud Emerging to Cloud Prepared

Download (DL) and upload (UL) speeds and latency characteristics are given equal weights for each country and are normalized and ranked. The countries are then displayed on a color-gradient scale simply categorized as Cloud Emerging or Cloud Prepared. The top thirtieth percentile of the countries is categorized as Cloud Prepared.

An example of a country at the cusp of the Cloud Prepared designation would have the network characteristics of DL: 9,100 kbps; UL: 2,100 kbps; latency: 56 ms. Combinations of higher and lower download speeds, upload speeds, and latency characteristics can also lead to a country being more cloud prepared than others. The weighted score rewards symmetric download and upload speeds and low latencies.
