Conversion Rule
1 Mbps = 125 KB/s
Based on 1 Megabit = 1000 Kilobits, and 1 Kilobyte = 8 Kilobits.
Kilobytes vs. Megabits
This is a simple two-way converter to help you switch between Kilobytes per second (KB/s) and Megabits per second (Mbps). While most internet speeds are now discussed in Mbps or Gbps, some applications might still display speeds in KB/s, and this tool helps you translate that into a more familiar number.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this converter used for?
This tool is useful for converting older or smaller speed measurements (often shown in KB/s for downloads in some applications) into the modern standard of Mbps used for internet plans.
Is a Kilobyte 1000 or 1024 bytes?
For data storage, a kilobyte is typically 1024 bytes. For data transfer speeds, it is often treated as 1000 bytes. This calculator uses the standard conversion where 1 Mbps = 1000 kbps and 1 KB/s = 8 kbps, leading to the 1 Mbps = 125 KB/s formula.
