Frequently asked questions

What does Latency vs distance do?
It computes a technical value (e.g. file size, bandwidth, duration) from the form fields.
What rule does it use?
The formula or convention under β€œHow the results are calculated” (bits, bytes, SI prefixes).
What inputs do I need?
Numbers from field labels β€” units (KB, MB, Mbps, etc.) as described on the form.
Is the result exact?
With valid inputs the output follows the formula; display rounding may apply.
