The formula
MB/s = Mbps × 0.125
Worked through with a real value: 10 megabits per second = 1.25 megabytes per second.
Going the other way: Mbps = MB/s × 8, so 1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second.
What each unit is
- megabit per second Mbps
- A million bits per second. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second while downloads are reported in megabytes per second, and a byte is 8 bits — so a 100 Mbps line downloads at about 12.5 MB/s.
- megabyte per second MB/s
- Eight million bits per second, abbreviated MB/s, the everyday unit for file transfers and download speeds.
Where these come from
- 1 megabit per second = 1000000 bits per second
- 1 megabyte per second = 8000000 bits per second
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
