> At first glance it appears that GCP has a tighter latency spread (when compared to the network throughput) centered on 0.2 ms

Comparing a distribution of two completely different metrics is not particularly meaningful. You can change the histogram buckets to a different size and it will look just as spread out. When I first read it, I thought it was saying GCP has a tighter spread than AWS. This was confusing, especially since the chart immediately above that seems to have AWS and GCP numbers flipped.

I can't find the the text you quoted in the article. Did they edit it out?

Yes, it looks like the text was edited, but the table is still incorrect.

(editor here) Table was corrected last night, and the text was edited per the comment above and a few keen eyes internally who also caught the confusing sentence.
