What does this information tell me about my internet connection?

I am having trouble listening to Pandora on my computer. I keep getting a message that says I do not have the suggest 64 kbs. I have no problems with things like hulu or youtube. The pandora faq suggested I run a speed test and a ping test and received these results:
Speed Test Result
Ping Test Result
I have no idea what this means or what such information should lead me to do next? (Pandora seems silent on what to do also)

Your speed test results indicate that you have more than enough bandwidth/speed to listen to Pandora.
@Brian1946 Grrrr, now I am even more frustrated with pandora. Thanks for the answer.
Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
This might be a stupid suggestion, but have you tried opening Pandora in a different browser? What browser are you using now?
@xxii I am using safari. I also have firefox, I will go try it there. Nice idea!
@liminal – Great. Let me know if it works.
@xxii I am having the same difficulty with firefox. sigh. Thanks for the idea though.
It’s not your connection, and it’s not a browser issue. That suggests to me that the network is congested – maybe Pandora is exceeding its bandwidth allocation, or there’s lots of local traffic around the Pandora servers.
