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.

| Kilobits per second | kbps | 1,000 |
| Megabits per second | Mbps | 1,000,000 |
| Gigabits per second | Gbps | 1.000000 × 10^9 |
| Bytes per second | B/s | 8 |
| Kilobytes per second | kB/s | 8,000 |
| Megabytes per second | MB/s | 8,000,000 |
| Gigabytes per second | GB/s | 8.000000 × 10^9 |

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.
