Mbps = Gbps × 1000
How to convert
To convert gigabits per second to megabits per second, multiply the value by 1,000. For example, 2 Gbps = 2,000 Mbps.

About these units
Internet plans and network links are rated in bits per second (Mbps, Gbps), while download dialogs and file sizes use bytes. One byte is 8 bits, so a 100 Mbps connection moves at most 12.5 MB/s. Real transfers are a little slower because protocol overhead (TCP/IP headers, encryption, retransmissions) takes roughly 5–10% of the line rate. Speeds use decimal prefixes: 1 Mbps is 1,000,000 bits per second.
FAQ
› How do I convert Gbps to Mbps?
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps. To convert, multiply the value by 1,000: 2 Gbps = 2,000 Mbps.
› What is 1 Mbps in Gbps?
1 Mbps = 0.001 Gbps. The reverse formula is Gbps = Mbps ÷ 1000.
› Why is my download speed lower than my internet plan?
Plans are sold in megabits per second and browsers show megabytes per second, so divide by 8 first. The remaining gap usually comes from protocol overhead, Wi-Fi and server limits.
› Is Mbps the same as MBps?
No. A lowercase b means bits and an uppercase B means bytes, so 1 MBps (MB/s) equals 8 Mbps.
