Megabit per second to gigabyte per second formula

To convert megabit per second to gigabyte per second, divide by 8000.

1 Mbit/s = 0.000125 GB/s
Example: 1 megabit per second = 0.000125 gigabyte per second

Common data rate conversion mistakes

  • Broadband's '100 Mbit/s' is megabits, not megabytes: divide by 8 for the download rate in MB/s. 100 Mbit/s gives about 12.5 MB/s, so a 1 GB file takes over a minute, not ten seconds.
  • MB/s (bytes) and Mb/s (bits) differ by a factor of 8, and the letter case is the only visible difference. Gigabit networking at 1 Gbit/s moves 125 MB/s of file data. Always check whether a spec uses the big or the small b.
