Mbps to MB/s
Convert megabits per second to megabytes per second. intro
How to use Mbps to MB/s
- Enter your internet connection speed in Mbps (megabits per second).
- Divide by eight to convert bits into bytes, as the calculator displays.
- Compare the theoretical MB/s with your real downloads, allowing for overhead and network conditions.
Example use
A 100 Mbps connection has a theoretical transfer rate of 12.5 MB/s, before protocol overhead.

Privacy, compatibility and limitations
Mbps measures megabits per second, while MB/s measures megabytes per second. Actual downloads can be slower due to servers, Wi-Fi, overhead, congestion and storage performance.
Questions about Mbps to MB/s
Is 100 Mbps equal to 100 MB/s?
No. 100 Mbps is theoretically 12.5 MB/s because one byte equals eight bits.
Why is my download slower?
Network overhead, Wi-Fi quality, server limits and other conditions affect real throughput.
