How frequently are the values updated?

-
Can I paste multiple converters, for different currencies?

Why are the prices always favorable?

The conversion uses a single price value, the mid-price between buy and sell side in the interbank market for the currency in question. The mid-price, by definition, is more competitive than the buy price and sell price for selling and buying respectively.
