Data Transfer Converter
Data transfer rate measures how much data moves per second. Network speeds are usually quoted in bits per second (Mbit/s, Gbit/s), while download progress is usually shown in bytes per second (MB/s). Because a byte is eight bits, a 100 Mbit/s connection transfers at most 12.5 MB/s.
1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s
How to convert Mbit/s to MB/s
One Mbit/s equals 0.125 MB/s, so multiply any value in Mbit/s by 0.125 to get MB/s. To convert back, divide by 0.125 — or multiply by 8.
MB/s = Mbit/s × 0.125
Example: 25 Mbit/s × 0.125 = 3.125 MB/s.
Watch out: Watch the capitalisation: "Mb" is megabits and "MB" is megabytes — an eightfold difference.

Frequently asked questions
What is 1 Mbit/s in MB/s?
1 Mbit/s (Mbit/s) is 0.125 MB/s (MB/s).
What is 1 MB/s in Mbit/s?
1 MB/s (MB/s) is 8 Mbit/s (Mbit/s).
How do I convert Mbit/s to MB/s?
Multiply the value in Mbit/s by 0.125. For example, 5 Mbit/s × 0.125 = 0.625 MB/s. To go the other way, divide by 0.125.
How many units does the data transfer converter support?
It converts between 8 units: Bit/Second, Byte/Second, Kbit/s, Mbit/s, Gbit/s, KB/s, MB/s, GB/s.
What should I watch out for when converting data transfer?
Watch the capitalisation: "Mb" is megabits and "MB" is megabytes — an eightfold difference.
