Indeed, the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Auction defined "Low Latency" 
as "<100 ms", and "High Latency" as "≤ 750 ms & MOS of ≥4".

MOS is the Mean Opinion Score, which takes latency and jitter into 
account. For "Low Latency", jitter/MOS was not defined. MOS goes from 1 
(Bad) to 5 (Excellent).
