Mbps Calculator
Convert between internet speed units: Mbps, MBps, Gbps, and more
Convert Internet Speed Units
Bits-based unit (lowercase b)
Bytes-based unit (uppercase B)
Conversion Results
Conversion factor: 1 Mbps = 0.1250 MBps
Base units: Bits to Bytes
Remember: 1 Byte = 8 bits, so MBps is 8 times larger than Mbps

Mbps = Megabits per second (lowercase b)
MBps = Megabytes per second (uppercase B)
ISPs usually advertise in Mbps
Downloads are measured in MBps
Understanding Internet Speed Units
Mbps vs MBps
The difference between Mbps and MBps is crucial for understanding internet speeds and download rates. The key difference is the letter "b" - lowercase for bits and uppercase for Bytes.
Mbps (Megabits per second)
- •Used to measure internet connection speed
- •What ISPs advertise (e.g., "100 Mbps internet")
- •Based on bits (smallest unit of data)
MBps (Megabytes per second)
- •Used to measure actual transfer speeds
- •What you see when downloading files
- •Based on bytes (1 byte = 8 bits)
Conversion Formula
MBps = Mbps ÷ 8
Mbps = MBps × 8
Real-World Example
Your ISP plan: 100 Mbps
Actual download speed: ~12.5 MBps
Calculation: 100 Mbps ÷ 8 = 12.5 MBps
Why This Matters
- ✓Helps set realistic expectations for download speeds
- ✓Understand why downloads seem "slower" than advertised
- ✓Choose the right internet plan for your needs
