Megabit per second (Mbit/s)

One million bits per second. Internet plans are sold in Mbit/s (Mbps).

What is a megabit per second?

Symbol: Mbit/s
Quantity: Data Transfer
Unit system: SI
Definition: One million bits per second. Internet plans are sold in Mbit/s (Mbps).
Exact: Yes, the value is exact by definition
Source: IEC 80000-13:2008, Quantities and units: Information science and technology

Used for home internet plans, Wi-Fi speeds, speed tests and video streaming bitrates.

Megabit per second in other units
Megabit per second	Kilobit per second	Gigabit per second	Megabyte per second
1 Mbit/s	= 1000 kbit/s	= 0.001 Gbit/s	= 0.125 MB/s
10 Mbit/s	= 10000 kbit/s	= 0.01 Gbit/s	= 1.25 MB/s
100 Mbit/s	= 100000 kbit/s	= 0.1 Gbit/s	= 12.5 MB/s
1000 Mbit/s	= 1000000 kbit/s	= 1 Gbit/s	= 125 MB/s

The next smaller data transfer unit is the kibibyte per second (KiB/s). 1 Mbit/s = 122.0703125 KiB/s, and 1 KiB/s = 0.008192 Mbit/s.

The next larger data transfer unit is the megabyte per second (MB/s). 1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s, and 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s.

How many kilobits per second are in one megabit per second?: One megabit per second = 1000 kbit/s (kilobits per second).
How many gigabits per second are in one megabit per second?: One megabit per second = 0.001 Gbit/s (gigabits per second).
How many megabytes per second are in one megabit per second?: One megabit per second = 0.125 MB/s (megabytes per second).
