About Data Transfer Rate Converter
Internet speeds are sold in bits per second; downloads are measured in bytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 100 Mbps connection tops out around 12.5 MB/s.
How to use it
- Enter value, from and to.
- Results update the moment anything changes.

Questions
What does the from option change?
It offers 8 choices: Bits per second, Kilobits per second, Megabits per second and Gigabits per second and more. The default is Megabits per second, which suits most cases; change it when your input or your destination calls for something specific.
