Data Transfer Rate Converter
Convert internet and network speeds between different units. Internet providers advertise speeds in Mbps (megabits per second), while file download speeds are typically shown in MB/s (megabytes per second). There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s — something worth knowing when comparing ISP plans to actual download experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
ISPs advertise in Megabits (Mb), but your download manager shows Megabytes (MB). Since 1 byte = 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection downloads at ~12.5 MB/s. Overhead, server limits, and Wi-Fi losses reduce this further.
