Mbps to Gbps Converter

Convert megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits per second (Gbps) for network speeds.

What this tool does

Convert megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits per second (Gbps) for network speeds. Type an amount in megabits per second, choose the units, and the tool converts it to gigabits per second. It offers 5 data transfer rate units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Kilobit per second, Megabit per second, Gigabit per second, Megabyte per second, Gigabyte per second. Starts as Megabit per second.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 units as "From". Starts as Gigabit 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 megabits per second to gigabits per second:

  • 1 Mbit/s = 0.001 Gbit/s
  • 5 Mbit/s = 0.005 Gbit/s
  • 10 Mbit/s = 0.01 Gbit/s
  • 50 Mbit/s = 0.05 Gbit/s
  • 100 Mbit/s = 0.1 Gbit/s

Multiply the number of megabits per second by 0.001 to get gigabits per second. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 Mbit/s = 0.001 Gbit/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 Gbps is 1000 Mbps?
A: 1000 Mbps is exactly 1 Gbps. Divide Mbps by 1000.
Q: How many Gbps is 100 Mbps?
A: Divide by 1000: 100 Mbps is 0.1 Gbps.
Q: Does this use 1000 or 1024?
A: 1000, the decimal prefix used for network speeds.
