Definition of Gigabit Per Second

Definition
Gigabit per second (Gbps) measures data transfer at 1,000,000,000 bits per second. It is the standard for fiber optic internet connections and Ethernet networking.

1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps = 125 MB/s in download speed.
Exact factor
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps = 125 MB/s
Examples
• Gigabit fiber internet: 1 Gbps
• 10G Ethernet: 10 Gbps
• WiFi 6E peak: ~2.4 Gbps

Definition of Megabyte Per Second

Definition
Megabyte per second (MB/s) measures data transfer speed at 8,000,000 bits per second. It is how download managers and file transfers typically display speed.

To convert from ISP speed (Mbps) to download speed (MB/s), divide by 8.
Exact factor
1 MB/s = 8 Mbps = 8,000,000 bps
Examples
• 100 Mbps internet → 12.5 MB/s downloads
• USB 3.0 peak: ~625 MB/s

About the Megabyte-per-second

Facts & Uses

  • MB/s is how browsers, download managers, and operating systems display transfer speed.
  • The bits-vs-bytes confusion is the #1 complaint about internet speed: "I have 100 Mbps but only download at 12 MB/s!" — that's correct, because 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many megabyte-per-seconds are in one gigabit-per-second?

One gigabit-per-second equals 125 megabyte-per-seconds. To convert, multiply the gigabit-per-second value by 125. For the reverse, divide the megabyte-per-second value by 125 (or multiply by 0.008).

What is 10 gigabit-per-seconds in megabyte-per-seconds?

10 gigabit-per-seconds = 1250 megabyte-per-seconds. This is one of the most commonly searched conversions for this pair.

How precise is the gigabit-per-second-to-megabyte-per-second conversion?

The factor 125 is accurate to 6 significant figures, derived from international measurement standards. Our calculator uses full precision internally.
