Data Transfer Speed Converter

Enter a data transfer speed and select the units to convert between Mbps, MBps, Gbps and GBps.

Data Transfer Speed Converter

Convert between internet and data transfer speed units like Mbps, MBps and Gbps.

This is a straightforward unit conversion using standard decimal (1000-based) prefixes for gigabits/gigabytes, as commonly used for network speeds; some contexts use binary (1024-based) prefixes instead, which would give slightly different results.

Internet speeds are usually advertised in megabits per second (Mbps), but file sizes and download managers usually show megabytes per second (MBps) — since 1 byte equals 8 bits, this distinction can cause confusion, which this converter resolves directly.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Converted Value ≈ 12.5000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my download speed slower than my advertised internet plan?

Internet plans are usually advertised in megabits per second (Mbps), but download managers and file sizes are usually shown in megabytes per second (MBps) — since there are 8 bits in a byte, a 100 Mbps plan tops out around 12.5 MBps.

Does this use 1000 or 1024 for gigabits/gigabytes?

This calculator uses the standard decimal convention (1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps) commonly used for network speeds, rather than the binary convention (1024) sometimes used for storage capacity.
