Convert Mbps, Gbps, MB/s, and KB/s. Calculate your connection's real download speed.
Data transfer rate measures how fast digital information moves from one point to another, usually expressed in bits per second - and there's a classic trap here that confuses practically everyone at least once: internet providers advertise speed in megabits per second (Mbps), but browsers and download managers show progress in megabytes per second (MB/s), units that differ by a factor of 8 (since 1 byte equals 8 bits). This means a "contracted" 100 Mbps internet plan results, in the best theoretical scenario, in downloads of only 12.5 MB/s - not 100 MB/s as many people intuitively expect when seeing the plan's number. This confusion generates constant complaints about "slow internet" that is, in fact, working exactly as specified, just misunderstood due to the subtle difference between bit and byte. This converter calculates between bits, kilobits, megabits, gigabits per second and their byte equivalents, essential for IT and network professionals configuring and diagnosing connections, gamers assessing whether a connection is adequate for streaming or large downloads, and any consumer trying to truly understand what their internet plan's number means in everyday practice.
Mbps = megabits/s; MB/s = megabytes/s. Since 1 byte = 8 bits, 100 Mbps ÷ 8 = 12.5 MB/s.
100 Mbps ÷ 8 = 12.5 MB/s maximum theoretical speed.
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps.
1 Gbps = 125 MB/s maximum theoretical rate.
