A median is the middle of every test run in the place that quarter: half the lines are faster, half slower. Cities usually beat the national number; islands and hill towns usually do not. "Work from it" is this site's own line — 150 Mbps down, 50 up, under 30 ms — for a household on calls all day; one person needs far less.
The guides in Azerbaijan
BakuAzerbaijanA walled medieval city inside an oil-boom city on the Caspian: Flame Towers over a Zoroastrian tower, a boulevard along the sea, and mud volcanoes and fire temples an hour out
ShekiAzerbaijanA Silk Road town in the Caucasus foothills with a khan’s palace of stained glass and no nails, a caravanserai to sleep in, and a sweet the town is named for
GabalaAzerbaijanThe country’s mountain resort: a cable car up the Caucasus, ski runs in winter, a lake and waterfalls in summer, and the ruins of the ancient capital beside it
LahijAzerbaijanA coppersmiths’ village up a gorge, cobbled by hand a thousand years ago, with a sewer system older than most capitals and the hammers still going
QubaAzerbaijanApple orchards under the Caucasus, a Jewish town across the river that has been there for centuries, and Khinalug, a village at 2,300 m that speaks its own language
