Mbps vs MB/s

  • Mbps: Megabits per second.
MB/s: Megabytes per second.

1 Mbps is equal to 1/8th of 1 MB/s. (1 byte = 8 bits)

Internet service providers show in Mbps
speed 16 Mbps

download from internet(torrent or IDM), it is in MB/s or KB/s (Bytes).

if you are subscribing 16 Mbps plan, your maximum download speed will be 2 MB/s.

Your connection speed (download and upload) will display as megabits per second. But, you’re downloading or transferring megabytes.

  • Task: Convert 35,000 Megabits per second to Megabytes per second (show work)
Formula:
Mbps ÷ 8 = MBps
Calculations:
35,000 Mbps ÷ 8 = 4,375 MBps
Result:
35,000 Mbps is equal to 4,375 MBps

Task: Convert 5 Megabytes per second to Megabits per second (show work)
Formula:
MBps x 8 = Mbps
Calculations:
5 MBps x 8 = 40 Mbps
Result:
5 MBps is equal to 40 Mbps

  • a Megabit is 1/8 as big as a Megabyte, meaning that to download a 1MB file in 1 second you would need a connection of 8Mbps. The difference between a Gigabyte (GB) and a Gigabit (Gb) is the same, with a Gigabyte being 8 times larger than a Gigabit.
