Really. This is from the Governor's "Hawaii Broadband Initiative"
speedtest website:
"The indication of above average or below average is based on a
comparison of the actual test result to the current NTIA definition of
broadband which is 768 kbps download and 200 kbps upload. Any test
result above the NTIA definition is considered above average, and any
result below is considered below average."
To be fair to the initiative at least its goal is for universal access
to 1Gbps by 2018, something they term 'ultra-high-speed' (not sure where
that definition comes from): http://hawaii.gov/gov/broadband-policy-outline/
