1 Megabit-per-second to Megabyte-per-seconds

1 Mbps = 0.125 MB/s

Calculation: MB/s = 1 Mbps × 0.125 = 0.125 MB/s

How fast is 1 Mbps?

1 Mbps is basic broadband — enough for email, web browsing, and standard definition video

How to Convert Megabit-per-second to Megabyte-per-second

1 megabit-per-second = 18 megabyte-per-seconds

Megabyte-per-second = Megabit-per-second × 18

Example: 1 Mbps × 18 = 18 MB/s

Reverse Conversion

To convert megabyte-per-seconds back to megabit-per-seconds:

Remember, 1 megabyte-per-second equals 8 megabit-per-seconds.
To convert 18 MB/s to Mbps, multiply 18 x 8, resulting in 1 Mbps.

About these units

Megabit per second: Megabit per second (Mbps) measures data transfer speed at 1,000,000 bits per second.

Megabyte per second: Megabyte per second (MB/s) measures data transfer speed at 8,000,000 bits per second.
