Data Transfer Rate Converter
Convert internet and network speeds between Mbps, MB/s, Gbps and other units.
About the Data Transfer Rate Converter
Broadband is sold in megabits per second (Mbps); downloads show megabytes per second (MB/s). Divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s: a 100 Mbps line downloads at most 12.5 MB/s, a little less in practice because of network overhead.
The formula
Result = Value × (size of the “from” unit ÷ size of the “to” unit)
- 1 bit/s
- 1 bit/s
- 1 kbit/s
- 1,000 bit/s
- 1 Mbit/s
- 1,000,000 bit/s
- 1 Gbit/s
- 1,000,000,000 bit/s
- 1 B/s
- 8 bit/s
- 1 kB/s
- 8,000 bit/s
Every data rate unit is converted through bits per second using its exact definition.
Common conversions
| From | To |
|---|---|
| 100 Mbit/s | 12.5 MB/s |
| 1 Gbit/s | 125 MB/s |
| 10 MB/s | 80 Mbit/s |
| 100 Mbit/s | 11.92092896 MiB/s |
How to read your result
- Lower-case b means bits, capital B means bytes.
Worked example
Example: 110 megabits per second = 13.75 MB/s
- Inputs: Value: 110; From: Megabits per second (Mbit/s); To: Megabytes per second (MB/s).
- Formula: Result = Value × (size of the “from” unit ÷ size of the “to” unit)
- Multiply by the number of MB/s in one Mbit/s 110 × 0.125 = 13.75 MB/s
- Result: 110 megabits per second = 13.75 MB/s
- 1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s
- 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s
Questions people ask
How fast is 1 Gbps in MB/s?
125 MB/s at most.
Why is my download slower than my plan?
Overhead, Wi-Fi, the server's speed and other devices all reduce the real rate below the line speed.
