Data transfer rate
Megabits per second to megabytes per second
Mbps → MB/s
100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s
Megabytes per second to megabits per second
MB/s → Mbps
25 MB/s = 200 Mbps
Gigabits per second to megabits per second
Gbps → Mbps
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps
Megabits per second to gigabits per second
Mbps → Gbps
500 Mbps = 0.5 Gbps
Kilobits per second to megabits per second
kbps → Mbps
1,500 kbps = 1.5 Mbps
Gigabits per second to gigabytes per second
Gbps → GB/s
10 Gbps = 1.25 GB/s
Megabits per second to mebibytes per second
Mbps → MiB/s
300 Mbps = 35.76 MiB/s
Megabytes per second to gigabits per second
MB/s → Gbps
550 MB/s = 4.4 Gbps

|---|---|---|---|
| Bit per second | bps | 1 | 1 bit/s |
| Kilobit per second | kbps | 1,000 | 1,000 bit/s |
| Megabit per second | Mbps | 1,000,000 | 1,000 kbps |
| Gigabit per second | Gbps | 1,000,000,000 | 1,000 Mbps |
| Byte per second | B/s | 8 | 8 bit/s |
| Kilobyte per second | kB/s | 8,000 | 1,000 B/s |
| Megabyte per second | MB/s | 8,000,000 | 8 Mbps |
| Gigabyte per second | GB/s | 8,000,000,000 | 8 Gbps |
| Mebibyte per second | MiB/s | 8,388,608 | 1,048,576 B/s |
Internet speeds are sold in bits (Mbps); downloads show bytes (MB/s). Divide Mbps by 8 for MB/s: 100 Mbps tops out at 12.5 MB/s.
