Gbps to Mbps Converter

This free converter turns gigabit-per-second (Gbps) network and internet link speeds into megabits per second (Mbps) and back, and also shows the equivalent file-transfer throughput in MB/s. It’s handy for comparing fibre plans, switch ports, and data-centre uplinks quoted in different units.

How it works

Data transfer rates use decimal SI units, not the binary (1024) convention used for storage capacity. So the gigabit-to-megabit step is a simple factor of 1000:

Mbps = Gbps × 1000 (and Gbps = Mbps ÷ 1000)

To get real file throughput, the tool also divides the megabit figure by 8 (there are 8 bits in a byte):

MB/s = Mbps ÷ 8

Example

A 1 Gbps fibre line converts as follows:

• 1 × 1000 = 1000 Mbps
• 1000 ÷ 8 = 125 MB/s of actual file throughput

So a “1 gig” connection is 1000 Mbps, which moves data at about 125 megabytes per second before protocol overhead.
