Mbps to MB/s

Convert between megabits per second and megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, which is why your download speed looks 8× smaller.

0.125 MB/s

How this is calculated

  • MB/s = Mbps ÷ 8
  • Mbps = MB/s × 8
  • 1 byte = 8 bits

Internet plans are sold in megabits per second; download managers report megabytes per second. Dividing by 8 is the whole difference.

Checked against known values

  • 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s
  • 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps
  • 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps
  • 1 Mbps = 1000000 bps
