Understanding Mbps to Gbps Conversion
What are Mbps and Gbps?
Both Mbps and Gbps are units that measure data transfer rate - the speed at which digital data moves from one point to another over a network connection.
Mbps (Megabits per second)
- •1 million bits transferred per second
- •Common for home internet speeds
- •Used in ISP advertising (25 Mbps, 100 Mbps, etc.)
Gbps (Gigabits per second)
- •1 billion bits transferred per second
- •Used for high-speed connections
- •Common in enterprise and data centers
Conversion Formula
Gbps = Mbps ÷ 1000
Mbps = Gbps × 1000
Real-World Examples
100 Mbps connection: 0.1 Gbps
500 Mbps connection: 0.5 Gbps
1000 Mbps connection: 1 Gbps (Gigabit)
2000 Mbps connection: 2 Gbps (Multi-gig)
Important Notes
- ✓Both measure bits (not bytes) per second
- ✓1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps (decimal system)
- ✓Don't confuse with GBps (gigabytes per second)
