There was a unit conversion error when copying the defaults from the sri methodology file.
The numbers for embodied emissions per byte of data transfer were off by a factor of a thousand, the number given in the SRI methodology for fixed network is 4.43 E-9 kg/kb which converts to 4.43 E-6 g/kb, the number in our methodology page was 4.43 E-3 so a thousand times that. THe error was probably caused from a weird phrasing in the methodology file where the unit is clearly specified as kg/kb but the origin field says it comes from the ADEME_220830_v1.4 number for emissionf per GB of data transfer, the french version of the file explicitly says that the number has been converted to kg/kb.
