How to use

Set data size, line speed, and efficiency with their units to estimate transfer time, or work backward from a deadline to required speed.

The basic time is bytes × 8 ÷ effective bits per second. Compare several efficiency assumptions. This is an estimate, not a measurement of congestion or storage speed.
