Bonded vs Unbonded modem channels

Do they matter?
I've lived in my current house for over two years, and the upstream/downstream indicator lights on my modem have always been blue, apparently indicating bonded channels. Had some wonkiness with the network extender downstairs this afternoon and had to power cycle the modem/router a couple times. Now the downstream light is still blue, but upstream is green.
the only thing on the wired connection is my PS4/XBone, and running a connection test on PS4, I'm getting download speeds between ~48-60Mbps and upload speeds right around 4.7Mbps which I think is normal for me.
I'm just wondering if I should care. It's only bothering me right now because the light being green is out of the ordinary...
Also, I'm not super tech savvy, so please don't ridicule me mercilessly if I've used the completely wrong terminologies here :P

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

50/5 is pretty normal for asymmetrical internet like cable modems.
