Formula to convert megabyte per second to gigabit per second

To convert megabyte per second to gigabit per second, divide by 125.

1 MB/s = 0.008 Gbit/s
Example: 1 megabyte per second = 0.008 gigabit per second

Common 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.
