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 Mongolia
UlaanbaatarMongoliaThe coldest capital on earth, half of it gers on the hillsides, a monastery that survived the purges, and the only city in a country of horses
Gobi DesertMongoliaSand dunes that sing, flaming red cliffs full of dinosaur eggs, an ice canyon in the desert, and a week in a 4x4 between them
Lake KhövsgölMongoliaA lake with two per cent of the world’s fresh water, larch forest to the shore, reindeer herders in the taiga behind, and no road round it
TereljMongoliaThe steppe an hour from the capital: granite tors, a turtle rock, a monastery up a hillside, and a ger to sleep in with horses outside
