🔄 Network Speed Unit Converter
The infuriating thing about network speeds is that ISPs use bits (Mbps) while file sizes use bytes (MB). They differ by a factor of 8, which is enough confusion to launch a thousand support tickets. This converter handles the math in both directions across every common unit.

Why bits vs bytes?
Network speeds use bits because networking operates at the bit level. File sizes use bytes because storage is byte-addressable. Different layers, both with valid reasons.
