Gbps to Mbps Converter

Convert gigabits per second (Gbps) to megabits per second (Mbps). Compare network and internet speeds in either unit.

What this tool does

Convert gigabits per second (Gbps) to megabits per second (Mbps). Compare network and internet speeds in either unit. Type an amount in gigabits per second, choose the units, and the tool converts it to megabits per second. It offers 6 data transfer rate units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Gigabit per second, Megabit per second, Kilobit per second, Bit per second, Gigabyte per second, Megabyte per second. Starts as Gigabit per second.
  • To: Choose one of the same 6 units as "From". Starts as Megabit per second.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from gigabits per second to megabits per second:

  • 1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s
  • 5 Gbit/s = 5,000 Mbit/s
  • 10 Gbit/s = 10,000 Mbit/s
  • 50 Gbit/s = 50,000 Mbit/s
  • 100 Gbit/s = 100,000 Mbit/s

Multiply the number of gigabits per second by 1,000 to get megabits per second. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a data rate only. It does not estimate download times or measure your connection.
  • Kilo, mega and giga here are the decimal (SI) prefixes, powers of 1000, as network speeds are quoted. Kibi, mebi and gibi are the binary prefixes, powers of 1024.

FAQs

Q: How many Mbps are in one Gbps?
A: One Gbps is 1000 Mbps. Choose Gigabit per second as From and Megabit per second as To to convert any value.
Q: How many MB/s is 1 Gbps?
A: Divide by 8 for megabytes: 1 Gbps is 125 MB/s.
Q: Does this use 1000 or 1024?
A: 1000, the decimal prefix used for network speeds.
