I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It's also kinda right.

That decreased bandwidth would still help to maintain a digital connection though, wouldn't it? There'd be a weaker and slower connection as the devices get further apart, so I was thinking less demand on the connection would keep them from dropping it.
I don't think it's the same as what you meant exactly, but I looked it up and Bluetooth does hopping between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz.
After you establish a connection, it doesn't hop anymore.
I don't think they're talking about frequency hopping, just using a thinner datastream. Smaller packets are less likely to be dropped perhaps?
Yeah, if you transmit less data in total, your odds of having a random problem reduce. But not much, because electromag interference tends to last for relatively long times and you still need to communicate often for minimizing latency.
That is, unless the problem is a saturated channel. If that's the case, your situation may improve much more by sending less data.
