Understanding Network Speeds
This tool allows you to convert between different units of network data transfer speed. It helps clarify the relationship between bits per second (bps), kilobits (kbps), megabits (Mbps), and gigabits (Gbps), making it easier to compare internet plans and understand file transfer speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?
Mbps stands for Megabits per second, while MB/s stands for Megabytes per second. Since there are 8 bits in a byte, a 100 Mbps internet connection has a maximum theoretical download speed of 12.5 MB/s (100 / 8). Use our Mbps to MB/s converter for quick calculations.
Are these calculations based on 1000 or 1024?
For network speed, units are typically based on powers of 1000 (decimal), so 1 kbps = 1000 bps, 1 Mbps = 1000 kbps, etc. For file sizes, powers of 1024 (binary) are often used (1 KB = 1024 bytes), which can cause confusion.
