Megabits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second Converter
Convert megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits per second (Gbps) with the exact data rate formula, worked examples, and a common-values table.
About these units
- Mbps
- Megabits per second, commonly used by internet providers and network equipment. It is bit-based bandwidth, not megabytes per second.
- Gbps
- Gigabits per second, a bit-based data-rate unit used for high-speed network links, internet plans, and server bandwidth. It is different from GB/s because lowercase b means bits.
