About the Data Transfer Rate Converter
Convert internet and data transfer speeds free — Mbps to MB/s, Gbps to Mbps, and every bits-vs-bytes combination that trips people up. The golden rule: 8 bits = 1 byte, so a 100 Mbps plan downloads at 12.5 MB/s. Use it to translate ISP plan speeds into real download rates, size up file transfer times, or compare network gear.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mbps the same as MB/s?
No — there are 8 bits in a byte, so 8 Mbps = 1 MB/s.
Why is my download slower than my plan?
Plans are sold in megabits (Mbps) but downloads show megabytes (MB/s) — divide by 8.
How fast is 100 Mbps really?
12.5 MB/s — roughly a 5 GB game download in about 7 minutes, or a 4K stream (25 Mbps) with plenty of headroom.
