How to convert Gigabits per Second to Megabits per Second
Internet bandwidth is measured in bits per second — Kbps for old connections, Mbps for typical broadband, and Gbps for fiber. Converting to bytes per second (divide by 8) tells you how fast files actually download.
Each step multiplies by 1,000: 1 Mbps = 1,000 Kbps and 1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps. To find download speed in megabytes per second, divide Mbps by 8 — so 100 Mbps downloads at about 12.5 MB/s.
Formula
Gbps × 1,000 = Mbps
Multiply your gigabits per second value by 1,000 to get megabits per second. For the reverse, divide by the same factor.
