Data Transfer Rate Conversion Chart
Printable data transfer rate conversion chart for Mbps, MB/s, Gbps and KB/s. Print this table or use the API and calculators for custom decimal precision.
Data Transfer Rate
Core conversion table
| Input | Equivalent | Unit pair |
|---|---|---|
| 100 megabits per second | 12.5 megabytes per second | mbps -> mb/s |
| 12.5 megabytes per second | 100 megabits per second | mb/s -> mbps |
| 1 gigabits per second | 1000 megabits per second | gbps -> mbps |
| 125 kilobytes per second | 1 megabits per second | kb/s -> mbps |
| 1 gigabytes per second | 8 gigabits per second | gb/s -> gbps |

How to use this chart
Use the table for quick checks, classroom handouts and desk references. For values not shown here, open the converter or call the API with your own value, from unit and to unit.
Best uses for this chart
The Data Transfer Rate Conversion Chart is built as a quick reference after the table, so the printable conversion values stay first and the explanatory content stays below the core task.
- Checking download/upload speeds, hosting bandwidth, network throughput and storage-transfer claims.
- Separating bits from bytes before estimating transfer time or comparing ISP and file-manager numbers.
- Using the examples as sanity checks for Mbps, MB/s, Gbps and KB/s conversions.
Chart accuracy notes
- Lowercase b means bits and uppercase B means bytes. Convematik uses 1 byte = 8 bits for data-rate conversions.
- Real downloads can be slower because of protocol overhead, Wi-Fi quality, server throttling and storage speed.
Common chart mistakes
- Do not confuse Mbps with MB/s. The uppercase B means bytes, and 1 byte equals 8 bits.
- Do not expect network speed to equal file download speed exactly because overhead and throttling affect real transfers.
- When comparing hosting plans, confirm whether the provider uses decimal or binary units for storage and transfer claims.
Next steps from this reference
- Estimate transfer time after separating bits from bytes.
- Use the data-size converter when file size also needs conversion.
- Check hosting or ISP units before copying the result.
