Network Speed Converter

Network speed (bandwidth, rate) measures how fast data is transmitted over networks. Units are split into bit rate (bit/s) and byte rate (Byte/s), where 1 byte = 8 bits. Different products and tools use different units; understanding conversions helps evaluate performance and cost.

Common units and conversions

• bps: base unit.
• kbps: 1 kbps = 1,000 bps.
• Mbps: 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps.
• Gbps: 1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000 bps.
• Tbps: 1 Tbps = 1,000,000,000,000 bps.
• Bps: 1 Bps = 8 bps.
• kBps: 1 kBps = 8,000 bps.
• MBps: 1 MBps = 8,000,000 bps.
• GBps: 1 GBps = 8,000,000,000 bps.
• TBps: 1 TBps = 8,000,000,000,000 bps.

Typical usage

• Home broadband: 100/300/500/1000 Mbps → ≈ 12.5/37.5/62.5/125 MBps
• 4G/5G: peaks 100 Mbps–2 Gbps
• Enterprise/DC: 1/10/40/100 Gbps
• Cloud: billed in Mbps or GBps
• Downloads: UI often shows MBps or kBps
• Video streaming: 1080p ~5 Mbps; 4K ≥25 Mbps
• Storage I/O: MBps or GBps

Notes

• ISP uses bits (Mbps); download tools show bytes (MBps). Divide by 8.
• Mind case: B = byte, b = bit.
• Real speeds vary; theoretical only.
• Networking uses decimal (1k=1000); storage may use binary (KiB).

Quick reference

Unit	Conversion	Typical use
1 Mbps	= 1,000,000 bps = 125,000 Bps = 125 kBps = 0.125 MBps	Home broadband, Wi‑Fi
100 Mbps	= 100,000,000 bps = 12.5 MBps	Mainstream subscription
1 Gbps	= 1,000,000,000 bps = 125 MBps	Gigabit link
1 MBps	= 8,000,000 bps = 8 Mbps	Download display
1 kBps	= 8,000 bps = 8 kbps	Legacy tools

Tip: To convert Mbps to MBps, divide by 8. E.g., 100 Mbps → 12.5 MBps.
