Convert Megabit-per-seconds (Mbps) to Gigabit-per-seconds (Gbps)
1 megabit-per-second equals 0.001 gigabit-per-seconds.
Megabit-per-second to Gigabit-per-second Converter
How to Convert Megabit-per-second to Gigabit-per-second
1 megabit-per-second = 0.001 gigabit-per-seconds
Gigabit-per-second = Megabit-per-second × 0.001
Example: 1 Mbps × 0.001 = 0.001 Gbps
Reverse Conversion
To convert gigabit-per-seconds back to megabit-per-seconds:
- Remember, 1 gigabit-per-second equals 1000 megabit-per-seconds.
- To convert 0.001 Gbps to Mbps, multiply
0.001 x 1000, resulting in1 Mbps.

Definition of Megabit Per Second
- Definition
- Megabit per second (Mbps) measures data transfer speed at 1,000,000 bits per second. It is the standard unit used by ISPs to advertise internet connection speeds.
Important: Mbps (megaBITS) is not the same as MB/s (megaBYTES). 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps. - Exact factor
- 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps = 1,000 Kbps = 0.001 Gbps
- Examples
- • 4K streaming: 25+ Mbps
• Typical home internet: 50–300 Mbps
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
About the Megabit-per-second
Facts & Uses
- Mbps is the universal unit for internet speed — every ISP worldwide advertises in Mbps or Gbps.
- The average US internet speed in 2024 is about 242 Mbps (Ookla Speedtest).
- Netflix recommends 5 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for 4K, and 25 Mbps for 4K HDR.
Curiosities
- The first dial-up modems ran at 0.0003 Mbps (300 bps). Today's 10 Gbps fiber is 33 million times faster.
- A 1 Gbps connection can theoretically download the entire English Wikipedia (~22 GB) in under 3 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many gigabit-per-seconds are in one megabit-per-second?
One megabit-per-second equals 0.001 gigabit-per-seconds. To convert, multiply the megabit-per-second value by 0.001. For the reverse, divide the gigabit-per-second value by 0.001 (or multiply by 1000).
What is 100 megabit-per-seconds in gigabit-per-seconds?
100 megabit-per-seconds = 0.1 gigabit-per-seconds. This is one of the most commonly searched conversions for this pair.
Is the megabit-per-second-to-gigabit-per-second conversion exact?
Yes. The factor 0.001 is exact by international definition, not an approximation. Any imprecision comes only from the original measurement, not the conversion.
